Lyrics


you'll come undone, loving all the

You will experience a breakdown or unravel emotionally, while loving

Terrible people

Refers to individuals who are morally or socially reprehensible


Hey, read the news, what's it say

A sarcastic question asking about the activities of someone in heaven

Did your boy up in heaven

Suggesting a person in heaven engaging in a mundane activity

Go golfing that day?

Questioning the actions of a heavenly figure on a specific day

They slaughtered a thousand

Referring to the killing of numerous innocent individuals

Most innocent victims

Highlighting the brutality and scale of the violence

They cut off the heads

Describing the beheading of victims to prevent resistance

So the bodies won't listen

Implies a disregard for the voices of the victims


you'll come undone, loving all the

Reiteration of the emotional breakdown while loving morally reprehensible individuals

Terrible people


Hey, Mrs. Jones what do you know

Addressing someone named Mrs. Jones and inquiring about her knowledge

Off a building you go

Describing a dramatic situation where Mrs. Jones falls off a building

With your children in tow

She falls with her children, emphasizing a tragic event

You saved them from hurting

Attributing a motive to Mrs. Jones, saving her children from harm

You saved them from distance

Implying protection from emotional or physical pain

You saved them from learning

Highlighting a reluctance to expose them to the harsh realities of life

They're rats in the system

Referring to the children as problematic elements in society

And still you won't listen

Despite the issues, Mrs. Jones remains unresponsive or indifferent


we generate monsters

Commenting on the society's role in creating monstrous individuals

We generate victims

Acknowledging the generation of victims by societal norms

We generate islands

Suggesting the creation of isolated individuals within the societal system

Adrift in the system

Describing individuals adrift in the societal structure


you'll come undone, loving all the

Reiteration of the emotional breakdown while loving morally reprehensible individuals

Terrible people
