LATE NIGHT WITH KUSH, LIVE

Back to Song List

 

I was walking in a government warehouse

Where the daylight never goes.

I saw 15 million plastic bags

Hanging in a thousand rows.

 

CHORUS:

Five million bags were six-feet long

Five million bags were five-foot five

Five million bags were stamped with Mickey Mouse

And they came in a smaller size.

 

Were they for guns or uniforms

Or a kinky kind of party game?

Then I saw each bag had a number

And every bag had a name.

 

CHORUS

 

So I've taken my bag from the hanger

And pulled it over my head

And I'll wait for the priest to zip it up

So the radiation won't spread.

 

CHORUS
