Keep the home fires burning, keep me safe and warm
Keep me from imploding and causing myself harm
And while you're shouting loudly I'll be holding back
Someone's got to do it, something's got to crack
I'm a floating fighter, nothing left to learn
All these signs around me, forcing me to turn
Used to be so easy, used to crave the heat
Now I chew the fingers, off everyone I meet
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll tear this skin right off of me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll rip this heart right outta me
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I'll tear this skin right off of me
Development arrested, muscles atrophied
Skeletal inertia, psychotropic needs
This is not a future, for the nouveau poor
This is propaganda, pushing me too far
An epic plague, an epic fire
A new disease, a new desire
An endless flood, a killer swarm
We'll have to learn to save ourselves
Keep the home fires burning, keep me safe and warm
Keep me from imploding and causing myself harm
And while you're tugging heartstrings
I'll be giving blood
Working for the weakened
And for the greater good
