Jay's a wreck, it seems First thing in the morning Smokes a cigarette and reads marxist ideology And goes to work at nine Hates every minute of it Hates every minute of it Hates every minute of it Says it's a waste of time Jay's up late at night He's deconstructing history The blueprints of the wreck The bunker archaeology And underneath the fields The axis and the allies And all the frozen faces The empty shells and cases The germans and the british Jay's a wreck, it seems His family tries to keep him clean Jay's a wreck, it seems His family tries so hard to keep him clean They make him go to church And stay away from bad things Jay's a wreck, it seems And his family tries so hard to keep him clean Jay's up late at night He's plotting the trajectories The bombs have errant flights They're detonating in the yard It's hard to fall asleep With the enemy approaching When the army tanks are rolling When the city's in explosion With the distant sirens scream Jay's a wreck, it seems His family tries to keep him clean Jay's a wreck, it seems And his family tries so hard to keep him clean They make him go to church And stay away from bad things Jay's a wreck, it seems And his family tries so hard to keep him clean
