Any so called day now
Euphoric Sam and Any Way You Can Take Me Mary
claim the prophets live in resonant UFOS
and if you point the foot of your bed north
you can hear progressive radio.

They're a fine couple, Sam and Mary,
waters part when they go swimming,
and if there ever comes a real revolution
you know they'll be in the front lines.

Any so called day now.
The dead shall come calling.
Will you be home?
Will you have what it takes?

It seems if you make a zombie movie these days,
they just have to savor flesh.
Zombies populate my TV screen
but I never see them eating anything
except the administration's leftovers.

Sam and Mary go trick or treating as Moral Values.
Will you have candy for them?

Any so called day now
the loans will be called in,
and the repairmen just might be on time.
