Zombie Survival Guide

Friday night I’m kickin’ back n sippin’ booze
I was tryin’ to relax n watch the news
Then they ran a story from a nearby town
Said a power plant had nearly melted down

Ever since society went nuclear
It seems things’ve only gotten spookier

Cos my crazy uncle called from up the coast and he was cryptic
Then he said the world was fin’lly goin’ post-apocalyptic
He said grab some canned spaghetti and a coupla purty hot chicks
And then hide out with a damn machete and a 30 ought six
He was hoarding guns n alcohol and cleanin’ up his rifle sight
Said he saw it in a movie called “The Zombie Survival Guide”

Though at first he thought it prob’ly just a hoax
Just a buncha college pranksters pullin’ jokes
O but if a toxic cloud had filled the sky
He was gonna be a southern samurai

Yeah, the end of days will be much gorier
With a bad ass redneck for a warrior

Cos my crazy uncle called from up the coast and he was cryptic
When he said the world was goin’ post-apocalyptic
Said that Mrs. Johnson’s twin granddaughters had flown in from Sweden
He might find some food n water and then start a brand new Eden
He was hoarding Spam n alcohol and cleanin’ up his rifle sight
Said he saw it in a movie called “The Zombie Survival Guide”

He destroyed the microwave he’d had since 1988
Said he didn’t know what cosmic rays that thing might radiate
Cos if he’s the only man left when the whole world dies
All the gals won’t want him sterilized

Well, he takes a lotta meds and so I didn’t get too ruffled
When he said that shadows by the shed had done the undead shuffle
There’s no Senates or Supreme Courts just a shelter near Padukah
And outhouses are extreme sports without rockets or bazookas
He was hoarding knives n alcohol and cleanin’ up his rifle sight
Said he saw it in a movie called “The Zombie Survival Guide”

Ever since society went nuclear
It sure seems like kooks’ve gotten kookier…

Have you read World War Z?

[good4somethingbum]

no, I haven't. I didn't know it existed until it popped up on Amazon next to the Walking Dead compendium I ordered. I love the Walking Dead, Zombieland and I liked 28 Days Later. I think zombies are the new vampires and the genre's becoming saturated. (so are post-apocalyptic tv shows/movies/books) World War Z is supposed to be good, though and I think Brad Pitt is in the film adaptation.

World War Z (the book) was nothing short of amazing. It was out before The Walking Dead (which I TOTALLY love).
