We can break the mountains
We can crush the sky
We can stop the fountains
Turn them arid, dry
We can burn the rivers
Leave the trouts to die
Send many a tingling shivers
If we only dare to try
No limit to our powers
As we axe the trees
Watch the withering flowers
Join the birds and bees
While we are a-hunting
Let’s slay all humans too
Without being affronting —
What worthy can they do?
Nevermore we shall worry
All will be a curse
Little time left; let’s hurry
Halloween’s upon us
If I was a young zombie
In a boring, normal city
I would have to walk to school
For nobody would find it cool
To sit in a bus with me
…
If I was a young zombie
No kids would be friends with me
Alone I’d sit, alone I’d play
They’d hate me at night. They’d hate me all day
It would feel so terrible and lonely
…
If I was a young zombie
Unlike the ones they show on T.V.
I’d be nice to one and all
Humans, big or small
Even though I’d go hungry
…
If I was a young zombie
They’d call me ‘Green Belly’
They’d laugh and talk
About how I eat and walk
I’d go crying to my family
…
If I was a young zombie
I’d be mad and unhappy
I’d swap my dollars and cash
For a little meat and flesh
Then I’d be glad and happy
If I was a young zombie
