Elimination Lyrics by Overkill

The Years of Decay

1989

[Verse 1]
Terminal, what disease? You told me too late
What's that cough and wheeze?
Fatal? You're shittin' me
A second opinion is what I need

[Pre-Chorus]
Laughin' in a windstorm
Blowin' all the cornstalks down
Cryin' in a funeral home
Forward my mail six feet underground

[Chorus]
Elimination
Ooh, elimination
Elimination
Ooh, elimination

[Verse 2]
Contagious? Say, why not?
Not just me waitin' to rot
Painful? Yeah, I know
It couldn't be easy when I had to go

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm yankin' on my plug
And I can't seem to get it loose
Pullin' all the stops, your ideals change
When you got nothin' to lose

[Chorus 1]
Elimination
Ooh, elimination
Elimination
Ooh, elimination

[Chorus 2]
Eliminate the right
Eliminate the wrong
Eliminate the weak
Eliminate the strong
Eliminate your feelings
Eliminate, too late
Eliminate the hope
Eliminate, eliminate

[Bridge 1]
If I had just one more day
I'd turn it all around
I'd make a play at good, clean livin'
And dig me out of the ground
And if I had just one more day
I'd say it to your face
I'll pull the plug on everyone
Eliminate this race

[Bridge 2]
We want the cure
And we want it now
Reissue hope
We don't care how
You're making a mess
Diseasin' a nation
Runaway train
To elimination

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Hopeless, there's no doubt
Set on a slow burn from the inside out
Careful? Say, what for?
Last one out closes the coffin door

[Pre-Chorus]
Spendin' all you saved
And wishin' for a little more
If I'm lookin' at the ceilin'
Then I must be layin' on the floor

[Chorus]
Elimination
Ooh, elimination
Elimination
Ooh, elimination

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1 Reprise]
Terminal, what disease? You told me too late
What's that cough and wheeze?
Fatal? You're shittin' me
A second opinion is what I need

[Pre-Chorus]
Laughin' at the epidemic
Something is going around
Crying at the epidemic
Pullin' on nails, six feet underground

[Chorus 1]
Elimination
Ooh, elimination
Elimination
Ooh, elimination

[Chorus 2]
Eliminate the right
Eliminate the wrong
Eliminate the weak
Eliminate the strong
Eliminate your feelings
Eliminate, too late
Eliminate the hope
Eliminate, eliminate

[Chorus 1]
Elimination
Ooh, elimination
Elimination
Ooh, elimination

[Chorus 2]
Eliminate the right
Eliminate the wrong
Eliminate the weak
Eliminate the strong
Eliminate your feelings
Eliminate, too late
Eliminate the hope
Eliminate, eliminate!

[Guitar Solo Outro]
