A Day at the office

Out in the backyard yesterday
Trimming the hedge while the neighbors kids were in the pool
The power cord got a little close to water edge
And sent 10,000 volts down little Billy's spine
He was only nine
Better luck next time
Woke up one sunday afternoon
The families gone on a hunting trip for caribou
Broke out the ladder gonna patch some holes up on the roof
I slipped and fell and landed on the ground
no one was around
When will I be found
I'm sure not glad it happened
But I'm happy as can be
That it look the life from someone else
Better than me
Bought a home right by the plant
They said she'd never blow again like she did before
Perhaps they spoke a bit too soon
cause half passed noon
She blew like hell and then the sky turned red
Toxins overhead everybody's dead, everybody's dead
Pleasant dreams and thanks for listening
