In Bloom Lyrics

Sell the kids for food

Weather changes moods

Spring is here again

Reproductive glands

He's the one

Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to sing along

And he likes to shoot his gun

But he don't knows what it means

Knows what it means, and I say

He's the one

Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to sing along

And he likes to shoot his gun

But he knows not what it means

Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"

We can have some more

Nature is a whore

Bruises on the fruit

Tender age in bloom

He's the one

Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to sing along

And he likes to shoot his gun

But he don't knows what it means

Knows what it means, and I say

He's the one

Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to sing along

And he likes to shoot his gun

But he knows not what it means

Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"

He's the one

Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to sing along

And he likes to shoot his gun

But he don't knows what it means

Knows what it means, and I say

He's the one

Who likes all our pretty songs

And he likes to sing along

And he likes to shoot his gun

But he knows not what it means

Knows not what it means

Knows not what it means, and I say, "Yeah"
