The Wake-Up Bomb Lyrics

    I look good in a glass pack
    I look good and mean
    I look good in metallic sick wraparounds blackout tease
    I scud along the horizon
    I drink some sweet tree tea
    I get high in my low-ass boot cut cheap
    I like being seen
    I look good with my drink eat no sleep
    Take a leap, longevity
    I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973
    I’m in deep

    My head’s on fire in high esteem
    Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
    Oh, the wake-up bomb
    Oh, the wake-up bomb
    Oh, the wake-up bomb
    Oh, the wake-up bomb
    My head’s on fire in high esteem
    Get drunk and sing along to Queen
    Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
    Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything

    I had to knock a few buildings over
    I make an ugly mess
    I had to blow a gasket, drop transmission
    I had to decompress
    I had to write the great American novel
    I had a neutron bomb
    I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
    I wake up (I wake up)
    I wake up (I wake up)
    I threw up when I saw what I’d done

    Oh, the wake-up bomb
    Oh, the wake-up bomb
    My head’s on fire in high esteem
    Get drunk and sing along to Queen
    Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
    Yeah, I’d rather be anywhere doing anything

    I’ve had enough, I’ve seen enough, I’ve had it all, I’m giving up
    I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
    Again
    I’ve had enough, I’ve seen enough, I’ve had it all, I’m giving up
    I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up

    Yeah, atomic, Supersonic
    What a joke, I’m dumb
    See ya, don’t wanna be ya
    Lunch meat, Pond scum

    My head’s on fire in high esteem
    Get drunk and sing along to Queen
    Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
    Yeah, I’d rather be anywhere doing anything
    Yeah, I’d rather be anywhere doing anything
    Yeah, I’d rather be anywhere doing anything
