lyrics

--Building Code Under Fire!--

I'm just a simple man, but Lordy, this new age has got me beat
When teenage psychopaths are running through the street

And flying saucers making headlines on the early morning papers
And by evening humankind is in retreat

But through it all
My bedrock still remains
To get me through the tension and the strain

Banality contrasted with the dire

Here it comes
Down the wire
Building code is under fire

I'm not a scientist, but Lordy, this here headline can't be right
An indestructible man haunts us in the night

And at the highshool kids are terrified a werewolf walks among them
As the monster takes another for his bride

And through it all
Each verse needs a refrain
To teach us right from wrong and keep us sane

Bureaucracy, the kind that we admire

Here it comes
Down the wire
Building code is under fire

Here it comes
Down the wire
Building code is under fire

And through it all, well nothing really changed
We slay the beast and give 'em its new name

Mortality and children getting high

Here it comes
Down the wire
Building code is under fire
