Lyrics

Preparedness

Do you know who I am?

I'm alive

You understand?

Alive

Alive

Alive

Check your head

I heard a sound

Makes certain no one's around

The sound

The sound

The sound

Do you know where you're from?

Don't wear round

Your crumbs are gone

Around

Around

Around

Are you lost?

Are you not there?

Are you shut down?

Are you prepared?

Shut down

Shut down

Shut down

Are you prepared for the atom bomb?

Are you prepared for my aching arms?

Are you prepared?

Are you prepared?

Are you prepared for serenity?

Are you prepared to disagree?

Are you prepared?

Are you prepared for me?

Do you know who I am?

I'm alive

You understand?

Alive
