All Things Considered Lyrics

Overlooking the prairie that's been overrun by plants

Smoke would fill the sky, it would go so high

The blimps wouldn't know where to land

Although corruption was interrupted by some guy

He would roam the city square with 1990s hair

Thinking he's a goldeneye

I was a humble worker down on maple in a radio shack

I had hope until they said we're going to space, now pack

The weather's alright, all things considered

But why do you ask on a day like today?

The family's in pain now that the news was delivered

But why do you ask? Did you think we'd be okay?

The policeman showed up and asked me to sign his form

I said, mister, don't take our house, what's this all for?

The mayor's a swindle, he sits in a spindle of the tower in town

Don't tell the others I signed a petition to burn it down

The Big Red, you say? The view from the wall is grand

He sits up there all day nodding and shaking hands

A nuclear psycho, his wife gets Lipo just to look the same

Then there's my daughter who stands in the streets waving signs, what a brave campaign

The weather's alright, all things considered

But why do you ask on a day like today?

The family's in pain now that the news was delivered

But why do you ask? Did you think we'd be okay?
