lyrics

KINGDOM COME

In the era of hopeful monsters
The parents of natures’s experiments
Are engineers
The parents of children with wings or fins
With a hundred eyes, with antlers the size
of ballroom chandeliers

Experiments with heartlessness
With admiration for the rich
Purposeless greed and ambition
We’ll blow the world to kingdom come

Like a rocket in love with a radar dish
We’re counting down the moments till
It all goes boom
We’re living in the instant
Just before the big collision
When the rocket and the radar honeymoon

By your very nature
You have to do the Charleston
Give a little twirl
You wonder when you’ll finally get
Your chance to prove you are the greatest
Dancer in the world

Destroy your brains with radios
Why do you carry such an enemy inside you?
Stand breast to breast and toe to toe
Tilt your heads back just as far as they can go

Experiments with heartlessness
With admiration for the rich
Purposeless greed and ambition
We’ll blow the world to kingdom come
Insatiable voyeurism
Fruitless twigs of evolution
Self-confidence cynicism
We’ll blow the world to kingdom come
To kingdom come
To kingdom come
To kingdom come

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
