It May be Blue but it's the Bomb (affectionately known as IMBBBITB) is Ironic Maiden's first release since their musical decision to stay on the heavy side of rock and roll.
The song is based on the TV series "Breaking Bad". The slow section includes quotes from the series (including the title of the song) and the fast section describes one particular scene in some detail.
This track is more blues influenced than most tunes by Ironic Maiden, but, just like the pure methamphetamine cooked by Mr. White, it may be blue but it's the bomb.
This single includes brief cameos from producer, Van Leucia: "Tight, tight, tight, tight!" and the organ feature.
(This song will be officially released with a video, when the updated 'track art' will be included)
lyrics
It may be blue but it's the bomb
come on Tuco you know it's true
it may be blue but it's the bomb
Run from things or face them, Mr White
come on Walt you know it's right
Run from things or face them, Mr White
(Tight, tight, tight, tight!)
Hallucinations, chills down my spine
I'm seeing visions, getting high
I see a man in his car, sitting unarmed
His phone starts to ring, "You have one minute they're coming"
A shot from behind, I'm ready for you,
Run over you backwards, while the bullets continue.
An invincible man, with a torso of steel
he raises his gun, "this is too easy"
Debilitated, lying on the floor
reload the black death, hollow point bullet
one shot to kill him, one place to aim
cock the gun on your chest, the axe comes down...
