Drone Day Disaster

Sarcastic · Tech Gone Wrong · Nuclear Obliteration
#VERSE
Nothing seemed ominous
As my drone flew high
Dancing in circles
In a blue summer sky
Like a flock of birds
With the other drones
No one had a clue
We breached no-fly zones
#PRE-CHORUS
The radar signal at Silo Ten
Mistakenly showed it was under attack
The commander punched the red button too soon
No chance, no hope, no turning back
#CHORUS
Drone Day disaster
We were just having fun
Drone Day disaster
Can’t be undone
The radar berserk
Like pinball on tilt
And I’m left, I’m left
To carry the guilt
From now until forever after
Drone Day disaster
Drone Day disaster
#VERSE
The whole party picnic
Was my brilliant plan
Get as many drones
Into the air as we can
Sent online invites
To the entire drone club
Arranged music and pizza
Beer and a hot tub
#PRE-CHORUS
But soon as our drones got off the ground
Air raid sirens pierced the sky
Then a missile protruded from Silo Ten
And now we’ve caused a city to die
#CHORUS
Drone Day disaster
How could we have known
A nuclear silo
Was so near our home
I’ve ripped the world open
Like a snag in a quilt
And I’m left, I’m left
To carry the guilt
From now until forever after
Drone Day dis...
#BRIDGE
There’s breaking news from overseas
A city has been wiped from the planet’s face
One million screams are echoing
As eight billion mourn this horrific mistake
#INSTRUMENTAL
#BRIDGE
And now... we wait
The country we attacked says it’s too late
They promise swift payback, an atomic surprise
Revenge guaranteed to end ten million lives
#VERSE
The club members tremble
Frozen with guilt and fear
Frantically scrolling newsfeeds
The grim verdict is near
Parents scream at their kids
“Hurry up and get packed
We must rush from the city
Before they attack”
But some people stay
Saying prayers and goodbyes
They say running won’t help
Because everyone dies
#CHORUS
Drone Day disaster
There’s no escape
Our three thousand live warheads
Will seal their fate
But they’ve made thousands, too
And they’ll use what they’ve built
No one will be left
To carry the guilt
Wish we could go back
And dismantle them faster
But it’s too late now, with this
Drone Day disaster
#OUTRO
Let’s hide down in the basement
Bring the cat and dogs along
(Drone Day disaster)
Know how deeply I love you
Once more, sing our love song
(Drone Day disaster)
It’s been a good life
FaceTime Mom one last time
(Drone Day disaster)
Tonight we’ll lie beneath the starlight
And watch them fade to black
(Drone Day disaster)
Forever they’ll keep shining
But we won’t be coming back
(Drone Day disaster)
(Drone Day disaster)
(Drone Day disaster)
(Drone Day disaster)
