lyrics

Spray Tan Apocalypse (Ian Roure)

Bombshells bursting here and there
A whiff of sulfur in the ether
Gradually the war began
On your phone and your computer
Incoming: voices of destruction punish and deceive
Incoming: scathing degradation
Venom imported from a well-known Slavic regime
And in the dawn's early drizzle:

Spray Tan surprise: a win for the delusive
Spray Tan Apocalypse!

Insults in the articles, injured in the comments section
Casualties have mounted up: spelling, grammar and non-fiction
Incoming: denial and distraction - always hide never seek
Incoming: gross appropriation
Tiny fingers grabbing that which was once out of reach
And o'er the land of the taken

Spray Tan surprise: a win for the delusive
Spray Tan Apocalypse!

The seven tawdry trumpets blow
The golden rain from heaven flows
The age ends for all who live below
In an orange glow...

Spray Tan surprise: a win for the delusive
Spray Tan Apocalypse!
Spray Tan surprise: there's no gettin' over it
Spray Tan Apocalypse!
