Blood and Fire
Posted: Wed Jan 31, 2024 2:16 pm
Life is quiet in suburbia
Nothing here that might disturb ya
Tidy lawns and picket fences
Nothing here to raise defenses
All the action's on TV
Watching heroes breaking free
Seeing bad guys getting shot
This is what my life is not
I feel my life becoming inessential
I feel I'm not fulfilling my potential
I feel I’m missing something existential
I feel the need to earn some street credential
Gonna get me a big ol' steak
Grill it till the juices make a lake
Flip it, turn the barbeque higher
Can't get enough of that blood and fire
Everything's so calm and boring
Just the sound of people snoring
It's so quiet you could fall asleep
Nothing here would make you weep
Should be happy, I don’t know
Wish there were somewhere I could go
Don’t know what my life is for
Maybe I need to start a war
Gonna get me a big ol' steak
Grill it till the juices make a lake
Flip it, turn the barbeque higher
Can't get enough of that blood and fire
Nothing here that might disturb ya
Tidy lawns and picket fences
Nothing here to raise defenses
All the action's on TV
Watching heroes breaking free
Seeing bad guys getting shot
This is what my life is not
I feel my life becoming inessential
I feel I'm not fulfilling my potential
I feel I’m missing something existential
I feel the need to earn some street credential
Gonna get me a big ol' steak
Grill it till the juices make a lake
Flip it, turn the barbeque higher
Can't get enough of that blood and fire
Everything's so calm and boring
Just the sound of people snoring
It's so quiet you could fall asleep
Nothing here would make you weep
Should be happy, I don’t know
Wish there were somewhere I could go
Don’t know what my life is for
Maybe I need to start a war
Gonna get me a big ol' steak
Grill it till the juices make a lake
Flip it, turn the barbeque higher
Can't get enough of that blood and fire
