TTO: 9 to 5 by Dolly Parton

Stumble out of bed with the can alarms ringing
Dogs are howling and people are screaming
The living dead have breached the walls again

Shoot one in the face when it reaches my doorway
Reloading fast before making my way
Past the hoard. Just tryin' to stay alive.

(chorus) Trying to stay alive.
Hoping the virus won't infect me
Watch them shuffle by
Before dashing quick to safety
They have no working mind
And a penchant for grey matter
Best plan if they find you:
Be ready to dodge and scatter.

Somehow I survive
In this apocalyptic city
Daily I connive
To take them out before they get me.
Want to move away
But the raiders rule the highways
I think sometimes that the zombies are gonna eat me
Mmmmm...

Virus, hack, or curse that caused it?
Common cold or something in dog spit?
Scientists, they could never really say
And yeah it's sad they were my family and friends
A perk when my zombie -ex met his end
But I can't give up hope
This will finally rot away.

(chorus) Trying to stay alive.
Hoping the virus won't infect me
Watch them shuffle by
Before dashing quick to safety
They have no working mind
Since cell phones hacked their brainwaves
When the dead are walking
Shoot their heads, forget the grave
Stay alive, yeah, if you're caught by the collective
You'll lead a different life
And gain a new perspective.
They groan they want my brain
They're not after my body
But all they want is
To make me another zombie

(chorus) Trying to stay alive.
Hoping the virus won't infect me
Watch them shuffle by
Before dashing quick to safety
They have no working mind
And a penchant for grey matter
When the dead are walking
Be ready to dodge and scatter.
Stay alive, yeah, if you're caught by the collective
You'll lead a different life
And gain a new perspective.
They say they want my brain
They're not after my body
But all they want is
To make me another zombie
