[Intro – energetic guitar riff, tight drums, quick vocal pickup] [Spoken – half-laughing tone] Zombies again? Ugh, fine... Let me tell you how it really is. [Verse 1 – upbeat pop rock, clean vocals, tight rhythm section] I woke up late, the world was toast But I’m still here, makin’ cereal and posts No mutant freaks with acid breath Just shamblers groanin’ half to death [Verse 2 – guitars punch harder, vocals more animated] Ain’t no runners like that movie crew No screaming mobs like World War Zoo And I’m not bit—so don’t expect Me to glow or level up from infects [Chorus – big pop rock hook, gang vocals on last line] It's not that hard to survive Just don’t be dumb and stay inside I’m not a loser turned warrior king I had a life before this whole undead thing No tragic past, no hero arc Just playin’ smart and keepin’ sharp Yeah, it's not that hard… To survive in a zombie apocalypse! [Verse 3 – playful tone, lighter guitar riff, sarcastic delivery] They say, “You must be the chosen one!” Nah—I just know how to load a gun No meltdown scene, no inner pain I'm just annoyed I lost my train [Bridge – half-sung, half-spoken over a funkier breakbeat, comic tone] Some folks were janitors, now they’re gods Some cry all day, post apoc sobs Me? I paid my bills on time Had friends, a job — life was fine! I don’t feel free, I just feel weird Missin’ Wi-Fi more than I feared [Chorus – bigger, more instruments, gang vocals louder] It's not that hard to survive Don’t split the group and you’ll be fine I’m not your brooding, broken man Just doin’ what a regular human can No secret skills, no magic spark Just not an idiot in the dark Yeah, it's not that hard… To survive in a zombie apocalypse! [Final Tag – guitars muted, vocals cocky and casual] I ain’t Rick, and I ain’t Joel I’m just tryin’ not to lose control And guess what, pal? I’m doin’ fine — With a bat, a map, and decent spine!
