Cockroach Song Lyrics by Gumshoes

Bugs Forever

2025

All of my devils
Are drunk and disheveled
And one provocation away
There'll be city blocks levelled
But when the dust settles
I reckon I'm looking okay
No matter the master
That drops the bomb faster
It won't leave a blemish on me
I was born for disaster
I'm here for hereafter
Suspect I forever will be
But mutual destruction, eh?
Sounds like a guarantee
When hardened mеans brittle
Big-hearted mеans little
And you're not leaving prints on the earth
Well if you can't crawl, you wriggle
If you can't grow, you shrivel
If you can't be a king, be a serf
I'll cough and I'll sputter
I'll squirm and I'll suffer
I'll make for a hideous view
But though I'll recover
Way down in the gutter
That's six feet above all of you
I'll be singing danny boy
From underneath your shoe
I've gotta confide in you darling
I'm lying
You know that I'm terrified too
But not about dying
The real horrifying part's knowing
We've gotta live through
Carnage, dissection
Unnatural selection
We'd rather forget than forgive
I'd offer protection
But after inspection
I don't think I've any to give
I'll love you when the screaming stops
For now I've got to live
And I'll be there to see it
I'll be there to see it all go
