Razor Anthem

(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Red light,

dead night, something’s in the hall Captain lost his compass,

now we’re headed for the wall

Everybody’s screaming, but nobody knows why There’s a monster in the cockpit

and it’s learning how to fly Seatbelt’s hanging loose,

oxygen running low He said,

“Don’t look behind you,” so I had to know

There were teeth where his shadow used to be And he turned

around and smiled at me

Oh-oh, we’re going down

Oh-oh, don’t make a sound If anybody asks,

tell them we were doing fine Right before the monster crossed the

line

The monster eats the pilot!

Now nobody’s flying home

The monster eats the pilot!

And we’re dancing with the unknown Hey!

Hey! Somebody pull the wire!

Hey! Hey! Somebody kill the lights!

The monster eats the pilot!

And we’re gonna be alright— We’re gonna be alright— We’re gonna be

alright! (We’re lying.) Mayday,

payday, everybody wants a piece The vultures wear a uniform and preach

a kind of peace He used to know the way back,

used to know the plan Now he’s just a stranger saying,

“I’m the monster, man.” There’s a hole up in the ceiling There’s

a fire down below There’s a hundred little reasons Not to let

it show So I laugh like it’s a joke While the cabin

fills with smoke If we’re going down in flames Might as well

put on a show

Oh-oh, we’re going down

Oh-oh, don’t make a sound

Everybody’s got a parachute tonight But nobody remembered how to fly

Maybe the monster wasn’t underneath the bed Maybe it was wearing the

face inside my head Maybe every warning was a prayer I never

heard Maybe he was trying to save us

Maybe I’m the reason nothing worked (Beat.)

So if you see the pilot Tell him I said goodbye

If you see the monster— RUN.

RUN! RUN! RUN!

THE MONSTER’S IN THE COCKPIT!

THE MONSTER EATS THE PILOT!

Now nobody’s flying home!

THE MONSTER EATS THE PILOT!

AND WE’RE NEVER TOUCHING GROUND!

Hey!

Hey!

Somebody pull the wire!

Hey!

Hey!

Somebody kill the lights!

Hey! Hey! We’re setting off the fire!

Hey! Hey! WE’RE HAVING THE TIME OF OUR LIVES!

The monster eats the pilot!

And the cabin starts to scream!

The monster eats the pilot!

BUT THE MONSTER LOOKS LIKE ME!

Oh-oh-oh! We’re going down!

Oh-oh-oh! Don’t make a sound!

The monster eats the pilot—

And somebody’s gotta fly.

So I grab the wheel…

And smile like he did.

We’re gonna be alright.

(We’re lying.)
