                              Breaking down the lyrics to Mad Thinkers "Living Dead"



"From the canisters we rise from death to banish ya
(reference to the movie Return of the living dead the zombies were originally packed and stored in canister drums)

Head on for ya ears we feast on ya brains is how we come atcha,deadly as is no need to gatcha 
or slice ya dice ya up Gears of war style,the army deployed to shoot us down they leave a gore pile but we still rise more and more now,the reverse of birth,because when there is no room in hell the dead will walk the earth 
 (Quote from "Dawn of the Dead")

1000 undead zombies outside the White house and walking over the Brooklyn Bridge
( two movie references in this line,1 is from the movie "The dead next store" in the scene zombies are seen walking across the white house. 2 is from a Lucio Fulci's movie Zombie in which the dead walk over the brooklyn bridge)

Having dumb fucks(Dumb Fucks is a term that steal from Day of the Dead would call zombies.) run up on ya you see ya heart of how shook it is.. We don't stay dead so they aim for heads
dead patients in hospitals arise from there beds (in the film Dawn of the Dead and Diary of the Dead there are scenes in which the dead rise from hospital beds) 

Feast on the blood of humans but am not from the twilight series Romero in it for the stakes
Im hungry I WANT MY CAKE (the cake line is a reference to the movie Creep Show)

Cant avoid me baby bloodied up and mangled with my own veins can i have a ride lady
(can i have a ride lady is famous from the movie Creepshow 2 where a woman hits a hitch hiker with her car and he comes back to life to haunt her and keeps asking her for a ride)

Invading your malls and we aint shoppin for new kicks eat so much now were looking for tooth picks (mall reference is from dawn of the dead)

Verse 2

More hands from out the ground now grab your shoe string 

My father with a gun to my head tears in his eyes unable to shoot me

Thats his loss cause now his lifes lost for not shooting
Now hes just like us another recruiting(meaning he has now been bit and has turned and is looking to make more zombies out of the living)

Lurking in stores run up on you while your Looting (reference to a scene in Land of the Dead
where survivors are looting a store for supply's and zombies are inside the store)

And outside everywhere this a war your losing, i don't care who's side your choosing
Must be cruisin for a bruisin, Army truck pick up machine gun us up (scene from land of the dead where the army would drive around town shooting up zombies)

We don't stay dead so that's a one up, Rip ya intestines and spit ya blood up
Captured and conducted experiments on to keep us calm they want to make us one of them and be
normal ( reference to George A Romero's "Day of the Dead" where a mad scientist captures the dead and does experiments in hopes to train the zombies not to be enemy's)

Right now there discussing bombing our city's with military corporal 
(scene from return of the living dead where the army bombs the town in hopes of stopping the undead)

Documentation of the dead strung up in lassos made target practice for some hick assholes
(scene from Diary of the Dead where rednecks strung up zombies to tress and would shoot at them)

We learned from day one out the drum, we pick up guns to make them run for fun
(references a scene from Land of the Dead where the zombies are evolving and learn to use guns)

Willis whatchu talkin bout what you have saw, sounds tormenting like the barks of half dogs
( reference is from Return of the Living dead where sawed in half medical student dogs come back to life)

Found in the shore fighting sharks we land a whole bounty biting down seeing red like santa now
(reference is to lucio fulci's Zombie film in which a zombie fights and eats a shark in water)

Bombs dropping, hearing booms and bloaws
(The ending of return of the living dead movie)
