8 1/2 Minutes The Dismemberment Plan

[Intro]
Oh, launched all the world's nukes this morning
Hoping it would kick-start something
Some of them went off course and hit the moon instead
It was kinda pretty

[Verse 1]
Well, there hasn't been a whole lot of looting
On the other hand, oh, it's fucking freezing
Someone on TV said something about going underground
I guess we better start digging

[Chorus]
What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it cruel, or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?

[Verse 2]
Well, I saw an astronomer break down on CNN
He said, "I'm a scientist, not your fucking clergyman!"
And no one's going nowhere 'cause their cars are all frozen
They give the power plants ten days
The sky is like a dome of black metal flake
And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes
And a dead black disk slides silently overhead
It's fucking beautiful is what it is
