lyrics

Well, the shit hit the fan on a Tuesday
Twenty three months with no rain and
Things went a little bit crazy
Yeah, a little bit crazy

What do you do when there's no water?
They tried to ration it out but
That got old real quick
That got old real fucking quick

Now we've got
Flaming barricades
And dead people in the street

Things were much worse by Sunday
You couldn't go outside if
You wanted to breathe
The stench would make you choke

Neighbors killing neighbors in the chaos
It was every man, woman, and
Child for themselves
They just needed a drink

Oh god, they needed a drink

Now I'm not saying I'm not guilty
You've got to do what you can
Just to survive
Just to make it through alive

Looking back now I can't believe it
I though I'd lived through the worst but
I knew it wasn't done
No, the war had just begun

The war had just begun
