Chain Reaction Lyrics
comin' thru the barricades
cuttin' the lines
the red lights goin' round
like insanity sirens
the end of the galaxy
the middle of the road
where the blackout moons
cut the weather of souls
black engines grind down
teeth are raw the rubber juggernaut
rots in a shattering jaw
helter skelter bulldozers
runnin' over the block
where a pawn shop clock
is ticking out like a bomb.
it's a chain reaction
like a chain reactor blowing out of my arms
shoot every paranoid phantom
that's done me harm
like a desolate specter in a pummel of fists
kicking against the pricks
burning black like wicks
they spit pig iron,
tell you nothing is wrong
put a heart on a pike
sing a resurrection song
for a paralyzed mind in a kerosene jar
barracuda believer with a heathen guitar
apocolyptic nostalgia tokens
dark arts set sail for antartica oceans
it's a chain reaction.
cuttin' the lines
the red lights goin' round
like insanity sirens
the end of the galaxy
the middle of the road
where the blackout moons
cut the weather of souls
black engines grind down
teeth are raw the rubber juggernaut
rots in a shattering jaw
helter skelter bulldozers
runnin' over the block
where a pawn shop clock
is ticking out like a bomb.
shoot every paranoid phantom
that's done me harm
like a desolate specter in a pummel of fists
kicking against the pricks
burning black like wicks
they spit pig iron,
tell you nothing is wrong
put a heart on a pike
sing a resurrection song
for a paralyzed mind in a kerosene jar
barracuda believer with a heathen guitar
apocolyptic nostalgia tokens
dark arts set sail for antartica oceans

Just another nonsense song, it seems.
Seems to me like its really apocalyptic....like riots and events setting of more events, and theres some biblical references like "kicking against the pricks"..so that would be my best guess...i guess:P
The song sounds like a good combination of "Novicane" (The verses) and "Where It's At" (The Chorus) but of course it has it's own style as well, which is some crazy distorted guitar and video game - like effects.
This song sounds more like Odelay than any other song on Guero, and it's only included as a bonus track. Kind of lame.
