lyrics

Cold war's going hot tonight
Atomic bomb's been dropped in fright
A mushroom cloud's rising with the sun
Armageddon's never been this fun

The potential energy has gone kinetic
From a static state to one more frenetic
Atoms bashing atoms, pictures crashing off the walls
It's the end of the world and we're having a ball

Skyscrapers no longer scraping the sky
They're decomposing, they're lying in state
Civilization, well, it's had a good run
But Newton's laws and molecules will reign

This tropical storm is gaining might
A hurricane is brewing in the night
Say goodbye to labors, lovers, lives, and luxuries
This storm will kill them all but it won't get me!

This batter's putting pine to pitch
A waist-high curveball murdered like a snitch
The seams are bursting and the hide is flying loose
Like all our dreams that we do not pursue
