[Intro]War gives value to life by showing it can be taken awayAnd in a perverted way, those who wage war delude themselves into thinking they create lifeOr at least make it meaningfulThus, using that as a basis for grandiose notions of supremacyFalsely giving themselves the title of masters of the universeAnd gatekeepers of morality[Verse 1]Peace trials and living power pleasure over painGeiger counters check amounts of radiation in the rainBiochemical nuke, gas masks and rubber bootsInhale your last gasp without a Hazmat suitTerrible, unbearable miracle of the modern scientificArms race, chase for the horrificManhattan project, man cancelling conceptCatastrophic bomb, a fabric-shattering contextA little boy falling from a metal birdFollowed by a fat man who left behind a leveled earthImbalanced challenge to survival of the whole pieceHave seeked to staff the whole planet with their own peepsA zone beeps of contaminated contentsAtomically activated, saturated beyond itsLimits, to live within its boundaries with conscienceTo cancer cells, I'm not totally unresponsive[Hook]Cause in the future shock, there where everything's storiedI don't feel like there's anything for meI hope they put this outCause in the future shock, there where everything's storiedI don't feel like there's anything for meI hope they figure outThis atomic misphilosophy[Verse 2]Uninhabitable avenues, third wars in southern latitudesMutually assured that it all happens toInternational violence leaves us black and blueBlast us back into the past if attack ensuesA pack-approved tactic fully practicedOn the evil of the axis back in World War TwoThe melted lunchbox of a disintegrated girlDogs on fire, the mosquitoes, flies and squirrelsMen, women and children have their bones cooked to ashAnd their shadows burning to the ground from the flashAnd if they didn't pass what's the future, Hibakusha?You say you need a job, but they won't give it to yaIn the era where they said the greatest evil was that white manFrom the reich land, but this was coming from the same peopleWho thought that Jim Crow was all 'ight then'Same thing that kept Colonel Tibbets on his flight plan[Hook][Verse 3]Nuclear stockpile's America's second largestThe world's most destructive and the world's most heartlessUnder the auspices that war will be rendered harmlessAnd everlasting peace will be in reach if we just bomb shitTechnologically fanatic racial socio-Economic faux-intellectual fucking nonsenseDripping with political interludes, typical of a systemStark raving mad and operating unconsciousNow how do we proceed?Knowing through the man's fatalismAnd probably you'll never leaveA disease trying to cure its own symptoms with diseaseCreating an epidemic just to see if it can beGenuine mistrust of everything but usBased on artificial evidence, but mostly racists at the cruxLet's pray they throw 'em all outAnd I hope I don't see youThrough the foggy field of vision in the fall out[Hook]
