Growing up I was a weird kid
Never had friends to play with
I somehow got fascinated
With anything that exploded
A normal life wasn't in the cards for me...
When I blew up the shed, dad made me join the military


[Verse 2]
I don't have a wife and kids
It's not the kind of life I live
This is all I have to give
An expertise in explosives
With this one I may have met my match...
I always said "When I Go out, I'll Go out with a blast"


[Chorus]
There are still kids in the building
Come on Charlie slow your breathing
Everyone needs you to remain calm
This is what gives my life meaning
No way in hell leaving
Saving myself right now would be wrong
I'm staying with the bomb

[Verse 3]
My father's temper was explosive
Years ago a therapist
Thought maybe that's why I Do this
Well I think that's too obvious
But right now my childhood don't matter much...
If I don't disarm this thing those kids won't ever grow up


[Chorus]
There are still kids in the building
Come on Charlie slow your breathing
Everyone needs you to remain calm
This is what gives my life meaning
No way in hell leaving
Saving myself right now would be wrong

I'm staying with the bomb
I'm staying with the bo-omb
I'm staying with the bomb
I'm staying with the bo-omb


[Bridge]
No guts no glory
Just like Major told me
Maybe the weird kid's gonna save the day
No guts no glory
This is my part in the story
I got a feeling it's gonna be okay
[Outro]
This is the only place I belong
This is the only place I belong
I'm staying... with the bomb
