If Nobody Moves Nobody Will Get Hurt - The Extinction
No search party came so my nails grew and sharpened
They kicked at my cane, it was like I never happened
Who will look after me? When I'm cursed just like a Kennedy
As with billboards consume, as with slogans on sweatshirts
If nobody moves, nobody will get hurt
Our chest puffed proudly, "us and the Almighty must feed"
It's getting closer, it's getting closer
Closer every day
Committees were formed, we save face, we stay calm
We drilled our air holes, cashed in our savings bonds
And we licked every nine volt that's inside our fire alarms
When your work here is done and fingers are calloused
Gather hair in a tail, let sun hit your iris
We're animated meat, accepting complete
The infidelity of the body
It's getting closer, it's right around the corner
Something is coming for me
It's getting closer, it's getting closer to me
Do you want this? You can have this
If it's something you need
Then stretch out your skeletons and grab it, and grab it
And we won't go in style, we'll go out in one piece
And honest to God, he got rid of us easy
Our lumbering bodies that we have to feed
Put to bed, take to the bathroom
It's getting closer, it's right around the corner
Something is coming for me
It's getting closer, it's getting closer to me
And we'll spit shine our shoes and push down our cowlicks
And tailor our suits and suck in our stomachs
And try to ignore that we're all aboard the Titanic
And we'll keep making plans we gather, we're grooming
We laugh and you think
You will feel as you know me
But know from the start that you're flying with Amelia Earhart, Amelia Earhart
It's getting closer, it's getting closer
Closer every day
It's easier for me to just plain believe
We are not softened up by the Morlocks
Try to ignore that you're all aboard the titanic
Try to ignore that you're all aboard the titanic
They kicked at my cane, it was like I never happened
Who will look after me? When I'm cursed just like a Kennedy
As with billboards consume, as with slogans on sweatshirts
If nobody moves, nobody will get hurt
Our chest puffed proudly, "us and the Almighty must feed"
It's getting closer, it's getting closer
Closer every day
Committees were formed, we save face, we stay calm
We drilled our air holes, cashed in our savings bonds
And we licked every nine volt that's inside our fire alarms
When your work here is done and fingers are calloused
Gather hair in a tail, let sun hit your iris
We're animated meat, accepting complete
The infidelity of the body
It's getting closer, it's right around the corner
Something is coming for me
It's getting closer, it's getting closer to me
Do you want this? You can have this
If it's something you need
Then stretch out your skeletons and grab it, and grab it
And we won't go in style, we'll go out in one piece
And honest to God, he got rid of us easy
Our lumbering bodies that we have to feed
Put to bed, take to the bathroom
It's getting closer, it's right around the corner
Something is coming for me
It's getting closer, it's getting closer to me
And we'll spit shine our shoes and push down our cowlicks
And tailor our suits and suck in our stomachs
And try to ignore that we're all aboard the Titanic
And we'll keep making plans we gather, we're grooming
We laugh and you think
You will feel as you know me
But know from the start that you're flying with Amelia Earhart, Amelia Earhart
It's getting closer, it's getting closer
Closer every day
It's easier for me to just plain believe
We are not softened up by the Morlocks
Try to ignore that you're all aboard the titanic
Try to ignore that you're all aboard the titanic
