Everything They Said

Everything they said was true,
The bomb came down on me and them
I was young but I remember the white flash -
Bright as daylight.

Clocks stopped at 11:12
The books all flew off the bookcase
And my dog took shelter
Under a truck.

Our house was neat so it did not explode,
But you should have seen the Harveys' down the street.
We ate some beans from tins and we went without TV for a while
And the cat went missing but she came back in nine days.

Everything they said was right -
I woke up in the Morning After and I was still alive
So I popped a pill and cracked a smile,
Took my basket from the shelf and went shopping for a while.

Everything I thought wrong -
I thought they'd never drop the thing
But now that they have I'm glad that
God is on OUR SIDE.

Everything we learned in school
I remembered it all and followed the mantra
It's all clear with your hands on your ears
And your head under the table.

Everything they said was right -
I woke up in the Morning After and I was still alive
So I popped a pill and cracked a smile,
Took my basket from the shelf and went shopping for a while.
