lyrics

I drove out to the desert
With a giant bug to bury
The days grew longer every night
The night’s weren’t necessary
The van was made of chocolate
A special kind that would not run
You can park it in the sunshine
Underneath a gatling gun

Speaking of guns
We need to kill
All the giant insects
They’re invading our towns
It’s up to us
We need to kill
All the giant insects
With our nervous breakdowns

I unfolded my new shovel
Excavating all six feet
I kicked six legs inside a hole
My mission seemed complete
I called the supervisor
Was he wearing his disguise?
A plastic mask over his head
I could hear it in his eyes

Speaking of eyes
We need to kill
All the giant insects
They’re degrading our lives
It’s up to us
We need to kill
All the giant insects
Serenading us with knives

They came here so recently
We had no time to prepare
We were expecting someone else
They caught us unaware
The giant bugs were dumb and slow
And not too bright at all
But they took up some much damned room
And inhaled aerosol
The Pentagon sent me a check
To help me pay for gas
They asked me not to cash it
Until it knocked me on my ass
I take it as a point of pride
To decimate those things
So I drive around the country
Setting fire to their wings

Speaking of that
We need to kill
All the giant insects
Before your mother gets home
It’s up to us We need to kill
All the giant insects
And bring them to Jerome
