The Doomer by The Pine Box Boys Lyrics
[Narration]
You know, all that blood, it's been shed all through these songs. It's been running up Confusion Hill and it's been raining, raining into the sky. And forms a great cloud of blood that's spread across this nation of ours
And the fear that it should set into every man's heart, well, that fear has been ignored for far too long
And one can only hope that those folks that the government had to come and fix the levees, they can only hope they did their job right
[Chorus]
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
[Verse 1]
Somewhere down is Louisiana, I seen him: The Doomer!
Riding on an excavator, forged in Hell by union labor
All them little parish towns got wiped out: he did 'em!
Says he's coming, he ain't kiddin
Got them jobs by underbidding
[Chorus]
I think that was my house floating by
Sometime if there comes another, they told us, "Don't worry."
But all them levees look like tumors
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
[Bridge]
Tell me how does this great nation
Award contracts to ugly demons?
They gave The Doomer lots of money
Pointy horns and hooves a-steamin'
I saw the tape on Bill O' Reilly
The day they gave him all that money
The Doomer took it, he was laughing
No one could see what was so funny
He bought up all them bulldozers
Backhoes, loaders, excavators
Painted black with yellow fire
He told the folks he'd pay 'em later
What he done to Louisiana
Surprised it hadn't happened sooner
So come on all you Pollyanna's
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
[Verse 2]
Next time Congress votes for cloture, he's somewhere, The Doomer
Roosevelt has been forgotten way down in the Land of Cotton
And all that money we were promised? He got it, The Doomer
Got to much it's getting moldy
Just like blood it trickles slowly
[Chorus]
Next time might be your house floating by
(Might be your house floating by...)
And all them levees he constructed?
They're cracked, they're bleeding
Surprised it hasn't happened sooner
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
[Outro]
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
Run like hell, here comes The Doomer!
You know, all that blood, it's been shed all through these songs. It's been running up Confusion Hill and it's been raining, raining into the sky. And forms a great cloud of blood that's spread across this nation of ours
