[Overture] We left the fields in late September Brown vines Dull sky "we’ll come back" Rain came Frost stayed Time slipped out Root beds swelling in the black Under the dirt Eyes started glowing Cold wet rows began to crawl Soft skins split White flesh showing Tiny teeth beneath it all [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Zombie spuds Out of the mud Little dead eyes in the dark They’re hungry for brains They’re hungry for blood Rotten roots Chewing our boots You can run You can hide But they’re rolling for you Zombie spuds [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Zombie Spuds Crawling from the mud Tuber teeth Thirsty for our blood You thought they were dinner Now the dinner’s you Zombie Spuds Now you're their stew [Post-Chorus] Zombie spuds Crawling out the ground Mud-dripped mouths With a hunger sound We left them there Now they’re coming for us Zombie spuds And they’re craving brains and blood [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Farm dog barked Then the barking stopped Saw him dragged By a tuber mob Pitchfork snapped When the first one bit Flesh like starch Breath like a pit [Verse 3] Zombie spuds Crawling out the ground tonight Dirt in their veins And they’re coming for a bite We left them there Now they’re back to eat us up Run Run Run From the zombie spuds [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Zombie Spuds Crawling from the mud Tuber teeth Thirsty for our blood You thought they were dinner Now the dinner’s you Zombie Spuds Now you're their stew [Post-Chorus] Zombie spuds Crawling out the ground Mud-dripped mouths With a hunger sound We left them there Now they’re coming for us Zombie spuds And they’re craving brains and blood [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 4] Pitchforks out We built a bonfire But they don’t crisp They only hiss Charred and grinning Inching higher Starch and hunger in a twist [Verse 5] They’re in the cellar They’re in the well They’re in the sack by the chapel bell Boil them? They scream Fry them? They breed Every cut you make just plants a seed [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Don’t. Waste. Food It remembers you [full voice] Every bite you never took Dug down deep and learned to look Now they roll Now they swarm Thunder made of tuber thorns [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Zombie Spuds Crawling from the mud Tuber teeth Thirsty for our blood You thought they were dinner Now the dinner’s you Zombie Spuds Now you're their stew [Post-Chorus] Zombie spuds Crawling out the ground Mud-dripped mouths With a hunger sound We left them there Now they’re coming for us Zombie spuds And they’re craving brains and blood [Instrumental Interlude] [Outro] Mash Slice Fry Bake They remember every plate you scraped They roll in rows A rattling drum Tater battalions Thud Thud Thud We should’ve picked ‘em When the sun was hot Now the whole damn village Is a compost plot [Fade Out]
