Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

lyrics

some bombing near the factory
where all the goods got made
some bombing near the factory
and very little could be saved
like faith and hope and trust
i lit the fuse for both of us

and if you need somewhere to shovel that blame
tote that bucket over here to this grave
and if you need somewhere to shovel that blame
tote that bucket over here to this grave

this city's like an iron lung
the bellows well they're compressing all wrong
electricity blew the breaker box
and the generators didn't start up
i remember those setting suns
and the stars i used to wish upon

some explosion near the factory
i saw the flash and the kingdom fell
some explosion near the factory
i wanted to believe and i wanted to be well
it comes down to tears of pain
goes up to heaven like returning rain
and when it came it was beautiful and bright
and me i staggered out into the light
