    Yesterday was nice
    And today looked fine
    And we're glad the sky opened up
    The moon came crashing down
    I wish that I
    Could tell you
    That it's all alright
    Wish that I
    Could tell you
    That it's all alright
    But in truth we're doomed
    Consumed by all the truck fumes
    That would kill you without uttering a sound
    In truth we're doomed
    Entombed by the wicked law men and the benzene underground
    The architecture ruining this town
    Tilt your head back, don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Over and over
    Over again
    I wish that I
    Could tell you
    That it's all alright
    Wish that I
    Could tell you
    That it's all alright
    But in truth we're doomed
    Consumed by all the truck fumes
    That would kill you without uttering a sound
    In truth we're doomed
    Entombed by the wicked law men and the benzene underground
    The architecture ruining this town
    Tilt your head back, don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Over and over
    Over again

    This is a tragic video, most of us will die from disease, the song beautifully captures that feeling of inevitable doom and the pressure/hope of being in battle with these invisible enemies. I hope some scientist working on a cure from one of our many ailments watches this and cries ;).

  • @travisjohnson622
    @travisjohnson622 2 года назад +3

    This song reminds me that we too are under the glass of the microscope. The lyrics are a sad homage to our own self destructive tendancies, enough to make you cry. Then the chorus comes to blow your mind. Just like the end of a hidden camera show, we are told to tilt our head back, as if directed to our secret audience. We are now aware that this world was a test. We were monitored this whole time, and we have failed miserably. The interdimensionals look down upon us in disgust. We spend our days robbing and murdering eachother. And in the end it seems we have brought Slugworth his requested gobstopper. No Chocolate factory for us.

    Lyrics (from Genius):
    Yesterday was nice
    And today looked fine
    And quickly the sky opened up
    The moon came crashing down
    I wish that I, could tell you
    That it's, all alright
    I wish that I, could tell you
    That it's, all alright
    But in truth, we're doomed
    Consumed by all the truck fumes that will kill you without uttering a sound
    In truth, we're doomed
    Entombed by oil spills, the wicked lawmen and the benzene underground
    The architecture ruining this town
    Tilt your head back, and don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, and don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Over and over
    Over again
    I wish that I, could tell you
    That it's, all alright
    I wish that I, could tell you
    That it's, all alright
    But in truth, we're doomed
    Consumed by all the truck fumes that will kill you without uttering a sound
    In truth, we're doomed
    Entombed by oil spills, the wicked lawmen and the benzene underground
    The architecture ruining this town
    Tilt your head back, and don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, and don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, and don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Tilt your head back, and don't choke
    Under the glass of the microscope
    Over and over
    Over again
    We're going to
    (Over and over)
    We're going to hell
    (Over again)
    We're going to
    We're going to
    We're going to...
