Timmy’s Bunker Blues

Lyrics

[Verse] Little Timmy in the bunker waiting for a change Nuclear skies outside got feelings deranged Mary Jane's got the sass kicking cans with her boot Dad Ted’s staring at the wall in his suit [Chorus] Oh Timmy’s got dreams but the rations run dry Dolores keeps the pace but she longs for the sky Canned peaches for dinner hope the water’s still clean Life’s a ticking bomb in this post-war scene [Verse 2] Ted keeps mumbling ‘bout the time before Dolores hides her tears as she sweeps the floor Mary Jane keeps sketching figures on the tin Timmy listens close says it's all wearing thin [Chorus] Oh Timmy’s got dreams but reality bites In the shadows of the past under fallout lights Counting supplies till the shelf’s almost bare Pretending it’s enough though survival’s unfair [Bridge] Gas masks on the hook tales of mutants outside Timmy wonders if the world’s worth the ride Mary Jane hums a tune cracking jokes through despair Isn’t much left but the stale bunker air [Verse 3] Ted’s stories of before sound like tales from fiction Dolores whispers prayers fighting her conviction Timmy scribbles maps dreams of fresh air While Mary Jane laughs says "Now Timmy Don't you dare"
