lyrics

This is the state of national emergency
Mind-blowing massacre at the cemetery
When the groundskeeper came to check out the place
They knocked him down and they ate his face
Little Billy Baker said he saw it first
A thousand rotten carcasses
Climbed out of the earth
Now we're holding a crisis information meeting at the high school
And we say if you shoot the head you kill the ghoul
If you shoot the head you kill the ghoul

Come on, this is the state of national emergency
It's happening in Texas and in Idaho and in Tennessee
Hideous hordes of crumbling undead men
Are slaughtering and eating the population
We've just received word from Washington DC
It's every man for himself against the zombies
They say a high-powered, short-range weapon is a man's best tool
And they say if you shoot the head you kill the ghoul

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot,
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill,
Aahhhhhh....This is a state of national emergency
Why is this happening? What are the dead returning?
Have we gone too far, do we deserve this fate?
Is Hell too full, have they opened up the gate?
It's earth last stand against our final death
They'll eat and eat till there's no one left
We don't know if it's radiation or if it's something biblical
But we know if you shoot the head you kill the ghoul
If you shoot the head you kill the ghoul
