about

As the Texans approach, Kevin and Amy regret the collapse of civilization — it was something they clearly would have liked.

lyrics

Ancient Greece
Vienna and Prague
The majesty of Rome
The Taj Mahal
The joys of New York
And the town I call my home
All the world's art
All the world's progress
The high-minded books
Magnificent buildings
Have one thing in common
None of them
Not one of them
No none of them
Not one of them
Came from Texas

Here they come
Here they come
There's no hole to hide in
And nowhere to run
The world is ruled by morons with guns
The world was fooled by morons...

And Chicago is next
Chicago is next

Doors closing
Once and for all
Texas hosing
The pride that goes before the fall

Here they come... Chicago is next
Here they come... Chicago is next

All of life is learning to face
The proper way to die
Fate provides the time and the place
We the reasons why

Doors closing
Exit unplanned
Trouble imposing
When fighting men get out of hand
Doors closing
Strange ending that
Hope decomposing
The cornered rat attacks the cat
The cornered rat attacks the cat
The cornered rat attacks the cat
The cornered rat attacks the cat

[They load all of the explosives into their clothing and march to the surface, eager to stop the invaders at any cost. Their final act of love is a sacrifice.]

The cornered rat attacks the cat...

[A flash of light, then silence.]
