Post-Apocalyptic Country Song

Ain’t this a funny place for a fellow like this to end up
Skin and bones in the back of a broke-down pick-up truck
With the world at his feet, but nothing left to eat
Ain’t this a funny place for a fellow like this to end up

As a punch line in a post-apocalyptic country song
And I bet I can get all your redneck friends to sing along
This ain’t the price for being too far right. It’s the price for being too far wrong.
And you’ve been too far gone for far too long

Ain’t this a funny way for a country like this to die
Too far above the rest to see the rising tide
They used to call this the land of plenty, but now it seems the bread basket’s empty.
Ain’t this a funny way for a country like this to die

As a punch line in a post-apocalyptic country song
And I bet I can get all your redneck friends to sing along
This ain’t the price for being too far right. It’s the price for being too far wrong.
And you’ve been too far gone for far too long

Ain’t this a funny way for a species like us to go
Burning through the bodies of the creatures that came before
Pumping ghosts from a smoke stack, we burned them, now they’re burning us back
Ain’t this a funny way for a species like us to go

As a punch line in a post-apocalyptic country song
And I bet I can get all your redneck friends to sing along
This ain’t the price for being too far right. It’s the price for being too far wrong.
And you’ve been too far gone for far too long
