Nuclear Family

In the aftermath

We picked up broken glass

Off yellowcake linoleum

Put into garbage bag.

He just assumed you'd be so mad

When you came home to all of this destruction

With a note the read I guess nice guys finish last

I looked at you concerned and you just laughed.

YOU JUST LAUGHED

HA HA HA HA

You offer me some of y'all's beers

The cheap stuff that he drank cause you won't be back here

God damn this week's been a hell of a year

God damn this week's been a hell of a year

When you and Adam split up he had a meltdown

When you and Adam split up he had a meltdown

We worried so much about you when you didn't come around

When you and Adam split up he had a meltdown

Let me start from the beginning (oh you wanna know what happened?)

In 1961 on a routine training run

A B-52 crashed over North Carolina

And it dropped two megatons

Failure of the safety mechanisms all except for one

(we were almost beachfront, we were almost beachfront)

This town was almost beachfront

Got me thinking about annihilation

Do I want to die in the town that I was born in?

Duck and cover or try to flee

I don't even need the nuclear family

Working at the dealership Adams dad owns

Thank you for the offer sir, but thank you, no

The bombs still out there in Goldsboro

I belong in the unknown

When you and Adam split up he had a meltdown

When you and Adam split up he had a meltdown

Now you gotta get out on a mushroom cloud

When you and Adam split up he had a meltdown

You don't know how close I came to going down in

Flaaaammmeessss

That's why I called you here into my home

I need $300 for gas and tolls

It's not a gift it's a loan

If I don't get out of here

I'm gonna explode
