Chekhov's Bomb

from Muddy Life by Heavy Breath

/

lyrics

It's a muddy life
Turn to vapor on sight
It's a muddy life
Nothing to fear when we should fear

Truces missed and politics are bound to set them off
Complacency is enemy because this is Chekhov's bomb

It's a muddy life

Diplomacy fails
Failsafes fall apart

We'll be vapor on sight
Turn to vapor on sight

Defenses useless; mutually assured

Defense spends its way to control
Clear eyes to a muddy life
We're writing our own end
On a pen made of hydrogen

Believe prophesies
Of mushroom clouds
On mushrooms found
Annihilation of civilization
The stockpiles stay unused

A bomb in the first act
Goes off in the third
We're in our third

Chekhov's bomb
It'll rain down on me
Mutually assured
Reactionary, it's a muddy life
You should be writing this down

Oh hey, vacay
I've got a car
I've got a hundred grand in the bank
I've got a submissive girlfriend
Who does whatever I say
I can't imagine anything
Ever going wrong
It never has before

It's Chekhov's bomb
