BITTER GROUNDS & BUNKER BREWS
If you're lucky enough to find Atomic Brew Coffee bless your stash
If not root and grit will have to do
This one's for the brewers
The label said Atomic Brew back in the day
But that blend's long gone burned up in the fray
Now it's dandelion root and a whisper of rye
With a dash of chicory just to feel alive
It's bitter grounds and bunker brews
Sippin' sorrow 'til the signal moves
Some folks dream some folks stew
I just grind the truth and chew it through
Yeah bitter grounds and bunker brews
We barter beans like bars of brass
Trade warmth in mugs for memories that pass
A kettle's worth more than a gun these days
When the mornings ache in a hundred ways
It's bitter grounds and bunker brews
You stir in hope or whatever you choose
The real stuff's rare the alt's got bite
But it gets you thinkin' and talkin' right
We toast to ghosts with ash in our cups
Still drink it down when the static cuts
We might not thrive but we endure
On boiled roots and cold allure
It's bitter grounds and bunker brews
Brewed in silence stirred with news
It ain't Atomic but it'll do
When the end still tastes like morning dew
