Minimum Day
Cold War Kids

Remember when I saw a

movie bout the rapture

strange seventies, zombie movie eschatology

one day the nonbelievers

woke to alarm clocks

empty houses barking dogs

half the human race was gone


oh! the minimum day

the minimum day took them away


I left feeling terrified

ripped me a new behind

what happens to the people

on a plane if the pilot might

spontaneously disappear

when it goes down for real

the motherless babies

and the quixotic teenagers cry


once upon a time

even tom needed proof

and peter would sell you out


deep down judas was a sweet kid

james had the nerve to ask you for a vip

i look around and say

on my hands no i can't hide em

on my knees

might as well just lay down and die


oh! the minimum day

the minimum day

take me away


now i'm all grown up

i see the scare tactic

to get the kids to obey

the grand inquisitor say

a gun to the back make a

happy man march

but neil young hit the mark with

only love can break your heart
