Minimum Day Lyrics - Cold War Kids

Remember when I saw a 

movie 'bout the rapture 

strange seventies, zombie movie eschatology 

one day the nonbelievers 

woke to alarm clocks 

empty houses barking dogs 

half the human race was gone 

oh! the minimum day 

the minimum day took them away

I left feeling terrified 

ripped me a new behind 

what happens to the people 

on a plane if the pilot might 

spontaneously disappear 

when it goes down for real 

the motherless babies 

and the quixotic teenagers cry 

one upon a time 

even Tom needed proof 

and Peter would sell you out 

deep down Judas was a sweet kid 

James had the nerve to ask you for a vip 

I look around and say 

on my hands no I cant hide 'em 

on my knees 

might as well just lay down and die 

Photos 

oh! the minimum day 

the minimum day 

take me away 

now I'am all grown up 

I see the scare tactic 

to get the kids to obey 

the grand inquisitor say 

a gun to the back make a 

happy man march 

but Neil Young hit the mark with 

only love can break your heart
