Send More Paramedics - Burning The Body lyrics

“This body may incriminate;

I move that we incinerate.

It's best that we remove all trace

Of everything that's taken place.

This dubious experiment,

Whose ending was so violent:

A chemical malign and dread

Able to revive the dead.”

“General, with all due respect

Your reasoning is incorrect

This rash decision must be checked

BURNING THE BODY

We have no way to theorize

What complications may arise

I vehemently disadvise

BURNING THE BODY

If we let the fumes escape

The problems that this may create

Aren't easy to anticipate

BURNING THE BODY

These chemicals dissolved in rain

Could seep into a thousand graves

And trigger off a zombie plague!”

BURNING THE BODY

“Son, what makes you think you oughta

Disobey a direct order?

It's my responsibility

To maintain total secrecy.”

Rain

Slashing down

Filling boxes

In the ground

What's that scrabbling sound?

I don't like this!

Watching the flames rise

Flinching as hope dies

Stoking the furnace

Ashes to ashes

Now it's just too fucking late

Cadavers rise consumed with hate

Bodies soaked in strange compounds

The children of the toxic cloud!

Now down by the cemetery

A hideous emergency

Beginnings of catastrophe

BURNING THE BODY

On the freeway drivers panic

Zombies stumble through the traffic

Scent of brain-meat makes them manic

BURNING THE BODY

Now on every radio-station

Bulletins broadcast to the nation

Briefing on the situation

BURNING THE BODY

The whole world is convulsed in flame

And only we can take the blame

We've made a terrible mistake

BURNING THE BODY
