	Story Behind the Song Motivated by the Pakistan/India conflict last year, and how I felt I'd seen the whole thing on TV before. The song was written in practice, lyrics were written at home. It took about two weeks to write. We recorded it in about an hour, probably nailed it on our second take. We don't like to waste time in the studio when we're paying for it. We recorded the whole album (six songs) in two days and mixed it in two more, so I would say this song probably got 6 hours of attention. Lyrics Someone change the channel I think I've seen this show before Someone change the channel I think this show's a rerun Let's save up plutonium And draw lines in the desert Each blast lasts a million years This dumb show makes my head hurt So unsure of the groundwater that we're drinkin' Propagate in case the folks we hate get to thinkin' "let's build some warheads" "let's star an arms race" I can't control the temperature This fire sweeps our nations This hate grew from a a single spark Got fanned by our impatience I think I've seen this one before When Cuba was a factor Subcontinental blues have struck I feel like getting plastered... ...so I can come home drunk to my nuclear family If I had known it would come to this I'd erase me Spend my time in between undefined states of being Or bring the end of the end of the world disbelieving "let's die for glory" "let's die before we live"
