Nuclear Family

(album: Legend Tripping - 2023)

In the aftermath
We picked up broken glass
Off yellowcake linoleum
Put into garbage bag
He assumed you'd be so mad
When you came home to all of this destruction
With a note that read I guess nice guys finish last
I looked at you concerned and you just laughed
You just laughed
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

You offer me up 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

Can you start from the beginning (oh I wanna know what happened)
Can you start from the beginning
Can you start from the beginning (oh I wanna know what happened)
Can you start from the beginning

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 Adam's 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 me and Adam split up he had a meltdown
When me and Adam split up he had a meltdown
Now I gotta get out on a mushroom cloud
When me and Adam split up he had a meltdown

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

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
But If I don't get out of this town
I'm gonna explode
