Red Sector A<\/em>, anyone?).<\/p>\nSo, without further ado, I present you “Genocide City Zone.”
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genocide City Zone<\/h1>\n
Welcome to the genocide city zone<\/p>\n
I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay<\/p>\n
We’ve been killing folks here<\/p>\n
All the live-long day<\/p>\n
If you want to join us<\/p>\n
You’ll have to pay the price<\/p>\n
Your soul’s the cost, so ante up<\/p>\n
C’mon and shoot the dice<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\nWelcome to the genocide city zone<\/p>\n
Everyone’s dying to get in<\/p>\n
Ignore your guilty conscience<\/p>\n
Though Jesus says it’s sin<\/p>\n
If you do not join us<\/p>\n
You’ll have to pay the price<\/p>\n
Sacrifice your life tonight<\/p>\n
To our deadly new device<\/p>\n
\u00a0
\nWelcome to the genocide city zone<\/p>\n
Check out time is soon<\/p>\n
We only stop once a day<\/p>\n
To eat our lunch at noon<\/p>\n
If you want to join them<\/p>\n
We’re happy to grant your request<\/p>\n
Just remember this one thing:<\/p>\n
We kill ’em with the best<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
