Newest Industry

We been through mass destruction once but once was not enough

We said "we want a second chance" and all they say is "tough"

A world where science went too far, there's no way to survive

Why can't we get this thing straightened out 'cause I wanna stay alive

They burned and bombed the east and north and there's no place left to go

The Sun Belt's overcrowded so let's annex Mexico

The peso's only worth a dime but they've got all that land

There's no need for a civil war, we know they'll understand, right?

Is that how you like it?

Hah, factories left unattended, crumbling to the ground

We tried to keep them running but there's no more oil around

We used it all to fight a war that neither side could win

Hah, well, Vietnam was Little League compared to where we've been

Now we live in caves and huts and we don't have pay TV

And everyone is signing up for the newest industry

Standard oil goes solar power, all try to make a buck

I'll sit around, smoke cigarettes and I'll babble, "what the fuck?"

That's how I like it

Sign up, newest industry

The newest industry

We'll sign up for the newest industry

Yeah, we'll sign up

For the newest industry

Yeah, we'll sign up

Oh, oh, oh
