Killbot 2000 Lyrics
A smell like cigarettes creeps softly through the vents
The room is filling up with smoke and little bodies
Tell all the boys and girls from school to keep breaking all the rules
To let their parents know they're individuals
Datura flakes off from your lips
You've lost the swagger in your hips
Your eyes are turning blue to gray
Your skin feels soft and sagging down
Your arms drag across the ground
With each step you take
And they fall from the jungle gyms
And they fall and piss away each night
Among the sound of bodies crawling around the room
I can smell their flesh on everything left in this room
Chalk and scattered crayons on empty desks
For weeks finding clumps of unwashed hair
Caught between the vents blowing
And they fall from the jungle gyms
And they fall from the jungle gyms
And they fall
And they fall from the jungle gyms
And they fall
And they fall and piss away each night
Among the sound of bodies crawling around the room
Carry their little bodies
To the cemetery so gently (x5)
Please don't let their necks crook towards the ground
The room is filling up with smoke and little bodies
Tell all the boys and girls from school to keep breaking all the rules
To let their parents know they're individuals
You've lost the swagger in your hips
Your eyes are turning blue to gray
Your skin feels soft and sagging down
Your arms drag across the ground
With each step you take
And they fall and piss away each night
Among the sound of bodies crawling around the room
Chalk and scattered crayons on empty desks
For weeks finding clumps of unwashed hair
Caught between the vents blowing
And they fall from the jungle gyms
And they fall
And they fall from the jungle gyms
And they fall
And they fall and piss away each night
Among the sound of bodies crawling around the room
To the cemetery so gently (x5)

From the site:
"KILLBOT 2000 is about the plagues that the devil brings down on the city. We had to tie in zombies SOMEHOW, because zombies are so so sweet. The song begins like many classic zombie movies; a strange smoke/fog begins to disperse itself throughout a building (in this case, an elementary school) and people begin to breathe it in. The sickness begins to come on, and their bodies begin to deteriorate. The line "Datura flakes off from your lips" is one a lot of people cant figure out what I'm saying- Datura is part of the typical zombie poison that causes delusions, mental confusion, disorientation, amnesia and an impenetrable stupor, all typical characteristics of zombies. The chorus is pretty self explanatory- "And they fall from the jungle gyms and piss away each night among the sound of bodies crawling round the room". We're talking zombie children here. The second verse is simply background- rotting flesh, dead kids, hair falling out, all the things that make zombies great. The big climax is simply about the parents carrying the corpses of their children to the cemetary and burying them. Nobody can seem to understand what I'm saying at the very end of this song, but the line is "Carry their little bodies to the cemetary ever so gently, please don't let their necks crook towards the ground." As you can see, this song is pretty self explanatory"
Murder by Death is awesome. This is the first song I heard by them. It's about zombies. All the song meanings for this album are pretty much posted on their website though.
Yeah... I'm going to get around to putting up all their comments on the songs at some point.
But yes. They are awesome... anyone with a song about zombies is cool. :-D
the song is about zombies in elementary schools.. and we've pretty much established that already..
i love mbd. everyone must see their live performance. they're amazing.
If you listen carefully you can hear Geoff from Thursday doing background vocals on this one
Not to be an ass or anything... but you're wrong.
They say the whole CD "Who Will Survive..." is one story, and the song is about the kids literally turning into zombies. It's on the site.
I mean, yeah, you can interpret it any way you want, but the song is about kids dying and turning into zombies.
because "zombies are so so sweet"
i love concept albums
Geoff does really good backup in this song. I didn't realize until recently but it really sounds good with the singer's voice. This song is so cool. I love the last minute or so.
this song, along with the entire album, is beautiful.
