Left 4 Dead Soundtrack

Left 4 Dead's Soundtrack is composed by Mike Morasky. He was also involved in the Team Fortress 2 Soundtrack. Team Fortress is another highly successful franchise from Valve.

Lyrics

Left Chicago, left the filth. Hopped a boxcar, headed south. Lust with thirteen Siamese twins. Bought for science, kept for skin. Twenty souls touch themselves. Lord help them! I help my self. This is my circle of instant friends.

(South to Christian lands)

These are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now. These are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now!

I'm on assignment for the FBI, Miami, Florida. Child sacrifice. The swamp is deep and warm and old. (I'm falling) I think she loves me, I love her, too. Satan brands, and home made tattoos. You can't believe the things I've seen.

(30 churches burning)

These are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now. These are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now!

We sit, and drink, all day now. We sit, and drink, all day now. (Cinder block temple) The sun beats down outside, and I can't think of a better reason to. Too late now, too late to tell me what I've become. (We are becoming)

These are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now. These are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now, these are my friends now!

I'm all alone in a big white house, and, I'm all alone in a big white house, and.

(I fade)

Lyrics

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

I've been working on a cocktail called "Grounds for Divorce" Polishing a compass that I hold in my sleeve Down comes him on sticks but then he kicks like a horse There's a Chinese cigarette case, And the rest you can keep And the rest you can keep And the rest you can keep

There's a hole in my neighborhood, down which of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole in my neighborhood, down which of late I cannot help but fall

Mondays is for drinking to the seldom seen kid

There's this whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound To the chorus of supposes from the little town whores There'll be twisted karaoke at the Aniseed Lounge And I'll bring you further roses, But it does you no good, And it does me no good, And it does you no good

There's a hole in my neighborhood, down which of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole in my neighborhood, down which of late I cannot help but fall There's a hole in my neighborhood, down which of late I cannot help but fall

Someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid
