When Things Get
Terrible

When things get bad

I'll look out for myself

Even if it means
Forgetting dad

You save your own skin
Because nobody cares

Nobody will be
There to comfort you
Or to say "there there"

Life is terrible
And never fair

And when China has
Dropped the bomb

Or another nation too
Everyone will
Be terrified
And won't know
What to do

As for me
I could really
Give a f*

I'll maybe be
With Bill
My old marine neighbor

We shall try our luck
Bill is a tough old bird
And not that religious too

But you are a good guy
And I would look out for you

I can see
Maybe a terrible time
Coming
For this country

Let it come
Let it come

I've been through
Enough terrible times
I'm ready for more
