Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Misery: Is your ship sinking
Did you know that's arsenic you're drinking
Are you buried in ice caps
Did the bridge you're on collapse
Did that place you're in explode
Oh, that's why we're singing this ode

Ohh what the heck throwin a train wreck
Oh Woah what the heck throwin a train wreck [x2]
