Loose Nukes - Behind the Screen (2019)

Loose Nukes - Behind the Screen Lyrics

1. Behind the Screen

you're workin for the CIA
and you don't even know
got you bugged night and day
everywhere you go

sucking on your electric thumb

it's everywhere I go
the flashing lights and sounds
addicted to a screen
I can't put it down

you're workin for the FBI
it's all under your consent
makin sure you stay in line
with the plastic life that you present

make no mistake
you're under control

and you can quote all the crass you want
they're laughing at you
behind the screen

2. Nukes Theme

someone made a plan to blow the world away
someone pushed a button no one had a say

borders vanished, nations fried
we're living underground
can't walk in the sun no more
it'll burn you down

world leaders couldn't play nice
so they paid the fuckin price
at night we come to see the show
watch the radiated masses glow

loose nukes

3. My Life

so sick of all your bullshit you got one foot out the door
why don't you go the fuck away don't bother me no more

cuz I got nothing else that I can do
you wanna fuckin walk away well good for fuckin you
it's my life and that's just it
I'd rather be here than dealin with your shit
call it cliche I don't give a fuck
it's my job to tell you that you suck

fuck you

don't even try we're not the same
last one to know first to complain
head up your ass foot out the door
waste my time not anymore

it's my life not yours

4. Paranoid

doctor doctor, what's wrong with me
I'm chasing down something that I can't see
I'm afraid to go out, I'm afraid to stay in
I got this sneaking suspicion that something's gonna dome in

gunshots on the corner and strangers at my back
I gotta take a pill just so I can relax

cuz I'm paranoid at everything I see
staring out the window at the world and it's staring back at me
and I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do

I watch tv and I read the news
tell the world all my views
but everything is going wrong
what the fuck is going on?

losing my mind
I can't take the strain
you're out to get me
paranoid

don't tell me it's getting better
cuz I can see it's getting worse
you're one of them I fuckin know it
get you before you get me first

losing my mind
I can't take the strain
you're out to get me
paranoid

5. Innocent

you bought the clothes
you got the hair
what's the cost?
you don't care

gimme this and gimme that is all you'll ever know
when your back's against the wall where you fuckin gonna go?

not so fuckin innocent, not so fuckin innocent
wish that I could sympathize but I gotta pay the fuckin rent
not so fuckin innocent, not so fuckin innocent, not so fuckin innocent
now that all your money's spent

ha ha ha
life's a joke
let's hit the bars
and sniff some coke

paid for all your friends and now the payrolls running late
seems like the real you inside is everything you hate
got no money can't go back to mom and dad
it'd be funny if it weren't so fuckin sad

not so fuckin innocent

6. Government Body

no more interaction, no more conversation
one being divided enough to stop a nation

government body

feeling so conflicted
it's tearing me apart
there's no legislation
I dunno where to start

government body
shutting down

I'm so full of shit
a fucking hypocrite
two party system
can't wait for the split

7. Rizzo's Dead

rizzo's dead
but he ain't gone away
poisoned minds
walked the streets again

murderers
killer boys in blue
watch your back
or they'll come after you

racist cops kill and maim for the common good
crooked politicians selling off the neighborhoods

there's no need to bomb it anymore
sell it off and build another store
killing off civilians like it's 1985
who will make it out alive?

shrug it off
can't hurt you
get a medal
they'll build a statue

rizzo's dead

8. I Could've Been a Killer

I could've been a killer like the ones on tv
they're all getting famous so why not me?
narcissistic scum hunted by police
snuffing out the thing that irk my insecurities
a psychopath a murderer walking down the streets
and who knows when I'll kill again

I could've been a killer I could be one today
I seen all the shows I know how to get away
look at the television all I see is death
makes me hate this fuckin world with every stinking breath

neighbors say how much they're surprised
"he always seemed like such a normal guy"
an entity
running through my brain
controlling everything I do it's driving me insane
a documentary
"he's the worst that's ever been"
makes me wanna kill
again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again
