about

Wonderful lyric from Ken Jason. I'm very happy with this whole track. Guitar sounds are hot!!

lyrics

There's a meltdown in the bedroom
There's a secret in the shed
There's a meltdown in the closet
and a wet dream in the bed
There's a poison in the kitchen - a tapping on the phone
There's a housewife with a blowtorch burning down her home
And her husband has a fever - he's beating on his fear
Armaggedon's comin' and I'm a'gettin' outta here

There's a fistfight in the tavern
There's a drowning in the glass
There's a habit in the restroom
and a blackout with a mask
There's a bottle laced with tombstone - a waitress out for blood
There's a lover with a hunger flirtin' with his Bud
The lady with a nightmare is cryin' in her beer
Armaggedon's comin' and I'm a'gettin' outta here

There's a gamble in the White House
There's a war plan on the Hill
There's a finger on the button
with a death wish, born to kill
There's a conflict in the Congress, writing on the wall
There's a liar incognito and he's lyin' to us all
the sound of the destruction is ringin' in my ears
Armaggedon's comin' and I'm a'gettin' outta here

There's pretenders on the pulpit
There's a liar and a fraud
There's a franchise for the taking
in the marketplace of God
There's a swindle in the sermon, there's a sucker born each day
A scoundrel with a message preachin' to his pray
The Bible thumping talkers crying phony tears
Armegeddon's comin' and I'm a'gettin' outta here

There's an army on the campus
There's a Nazi in the dorm
There's a lecture in the foyer
They'll keep your casket warm
There's a handgun in the locker waiting for the perfect time
A bully with a big mouth on the day before the crime
The teacher teach the lesson to the kids who cannot hear
Armegeddon's comin' and I'm a'gettin' outta here
Armegeddon's comin' and I'm a'gettin' outta here
