Where Was You (When The Dead Come Walkin')

[Verse 1] It goes, step one: wake up, but my brain won't Chain smoke, worry 'bout the stuff that I don't have Step two: work a job that I hate, let the day burn Gotta earn the money that I owe back Step three: turn the screen on and stare at it Worry 'bout all the things I gotta get done Step four: lie awake in a sheer panic 'til I fall asleep Then repeat step one I guess if I was honest I wanted for something more but ignored it And now the thought of it sorta just seems far fetched Cause I was brought up and taught I should just be normal Cause boredom will help afford all the mortgage on this apartment Yeah my home, my apartment, hardwood floors, white walls, nice armchairs Large bed, IKEA, all 500 square feet of proof I'm a success No kids, no partners, no darn pets, no time, only friends are in past tense The neighbours up stairs never stay up past ten I feel passed tense, yeah the stress is constant I never travelled the world I was delayed I got a Japanese sword I bought off eBay I got the best TV on the market At night I watch a high def pixelated sunset News flash, an eruption, something about the undead, fuck this I was trying to watch something Hit the off button, got so many things I gotta get done Now repeat step one [Hook] I said where was you when the dead come walking? (x4) [Verse 2] It's like, where was I? Probably caught up in this head of mine A pair of cartoon eyes with the dollars signs So I don't really notice shit going on at times So while the living and the dead - they were swapping sides I was occupied, thinking about my job and what I wanna buy It's all my fault and I apoligise I didn't even notice there was something wrong 'Til I thought "Shit, where has everybody gone?" It's like that thought made me wake up I look around the office every cubicle was vacant Put my coffee down, man they must be all on break The first thought I had is "somebody's getting a pay cut" Photocopier is screaming at me out of paper And there's no one here to blame so I need to get some A4 Hey yo this ain't what I get paid for Then I see 'em crawling in via the escape door It was a flood full of teeth, face like a friend Eyes like a frozen fish, arms outstretched Shell made of of suit and tie Looking like upright death on its lunch break And it's only Monday [Hook] [Bridge] They never knew where they came from They couldn't figure what the strain was It was chaos, chaos Baton down the hatches and fuel up the chain saws (x2) [Verse 3] They came pouring in like a bull in a china shop Grabbed whatever items that I could find just to fight 'em off Made it out of the office not sure if I was alive or not But for the first time I was leaving work before five o'clock Made it home, picked the phone up and tried to dial the cops Line was off, meanwhile they're filling up the entire block Outside door ain't gonna hold up with this tiny lock I have gotta get it sealed up tighter than an iron vault Looked around to find something to use to barricade it But it's tougher to choose Cause all I see are price tags on the stuff in this room It's too good for loose wood and a couple of screws I'm torn, but what the fuck for? Worried about my uninsured stuff while the dead are clawing at the front door It's just a chair just a table These four fucking walls were my life, I won't let 'em be my grave too Go to plan B, turned the oven on, let the gas leak Grabbed the canned feed from the pantry Put it in a bag with a canteen like I'm going camping Reached for the antique sword from the wall Heard the stampede burst through the door Struck a match, lit the lounge suite Climbed to the balcony Dead hands trying to grab me As I scaled down three stories to the firm ground Watch it burn down [Hook] [Outro] Step one: wake up in a new world No fixed abode, I scavenge and I move on Step two: every day I manage a few blocks Streets full of teeth so I travel by the rooftops Step three: keep my mind and my sword sharp Try to help survivors but always check 'em for bite marks Step four: try to stay alert at all times Surrounded by death but I've never felt more alive
