The ocean, is on fire
The sky turned dark again
As the boats came in
And the beaches
Stretched out with soldiers
With their arms and guns
It has just begun

Believe, you want this
Believe, I want this too

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

And the houses
Laid out like targets
With the deafening sound
We watched them all go down
And the families
Now useless bodies
They lay still black and blue
A gift from us to you

Believe, you want this
Believe, I want this too

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh (Believe, you want this too)
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Why wont you tell me that
It's almost over
Why must this?
Tear my head
Inside out

Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh, oh oh

Lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaelbuble/home.html

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

Lyrics: http://www.metrolyrics.com/fix-you-lyrics-coldplay.html

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse?

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worst?

Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
[Fix You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/cranberries/warchild.html

Who will save the war child baby?

Who controls the key?

The web we weave is thick and sordid,

Fine by me.

At times of war we're all the losers,

There's no victory.

We shoot to kill and kill your lover,

Fine by me.

War child, victim of political pride.

Plant the seed, territorial greed.

Mind the war child,

We should mind the war child.

I spent last winter in New York,

And came upon a man.

He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,

He said, "I fought in Vietnam."

Beneath his shirt he wore the mark,

He bore the mark with pride.

A two inch deep incision carved,

Into his side.

War child, victim of political pride.

Plant the seed, territorial greed.

Mind the war child,

We should mind the war child.

Who's the loser now? Who's the loser now?

We're all the losers now. We're all the losers now.

War child. [X2]

Lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/Cranberries Lyrics/Zombie Lyrics.html

Another head hangs lowly,

Child is slowly taken.

And the violence caused such silence,

Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.

In your head, in your head they are fighting,

With their tanks and their bombs,

And their bombs and their guns.

In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,

Zombie, zombie, zombie,

Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,

In your head,

Zombie, zombie, zombie?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',

Heart is taking over.

When the vi'lence causes silence,

We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.

In your head, in your head they're still fighting,

With their tanks and their bombs,

And their bombs and their guns.

In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,

Zombie, zombie, zombie,

Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,

In your head,

Zombie, zombie, zombie?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

Come out, come out, no use in hiding.

Come out, come out, can you not see

Theres no place here, what were you expecting?

No room for both, just room for me.

So you will lay your arms down,

Yes, I will call this home.

Away, away, you have been banished.

Your land is gone, and given to me.

And here I will spread my wings.

Yes, I will call this home.

Whats this you say, you feel a right to remain?

Then stay and I will bury you.

Whats that you say, your fathers spirit still lives in this place?

Well, I will silence you.

Heres the hitch, your horse is leaving.

Dont miss your boat, its leaving now.

And as you go I will spread my wings.

Yes, I will call this home.

I have no time to justify to you,

Fool, youre blind, move aside for me.

All I can say to you my new neighbor,

You must move on or I will bury you.

Now as I rest my feet by this fire

Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them.

I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly

Upon these poor souls,

Ill build heaven and call it home.

Cause youre all dead now.

I live with my justice

And I live with my greed in me

I live with no mercy

And I live with my frenzy feet

I live with my hatred

And I live with my jealousy

I live with the notion that I dont need anyone but me

Dont drink the water

Blood in the water

Dont drink the water

Lyrics: http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Ani-Difranco/On-Every-Corner.html

Death

has been your lover

he has brought you

the edges of your life

and now you are looking over

and all we can say is

it's gonna be all right

and I am looking forward

to looking back on these days

when on every corner

someone holds a sign

that says I'm homeless

I'm hungry and

I have AIDS

how will they define our generation

in the coming decades

who will tell the story

and what will they say?

will they say the victims

were thought of as criminals

while the guilty sat on high

deciding their fate

ticking off statistics in their spare time

tell me,

which is the crime?

may you never test positive

pregnancy

HIV

may you never be the receptacle of blame

may you never be the scapegoat

for a whole

world full of shame

may you never be fighting for your life

and at the same time

have to fight for your name

there are too few who open both eyes

we sit back in our easy chairs

and we try to sympathize

whether from the point of a needle or

the edge of our beds

we too, like too many others,

could be dead

our actions

will define us

before a single definition can be said

yeah, so what if god is testing us

what if that's true

what are you going to do

what is the answer

to you

Lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/anidifranco/lostwomansong.html

I opened a bank account

when I was nine years old

I closed it when I was eighteen

I gave them every penny that I'd saved

and they gave my blood

and my urine

a number

now I'm sitting in this waiting room

playing with the toys

and I am here to exercise

my freedom of choice

I passed their handheld signs

went through their picket lines

they gathered when they saw me coming

they shouted when they saw me cross

I said why don't you go home

just leave me alone

I'm just another woman lost

you are like fish in the water

who don't know that they are wet

as far as I can tell

the world isn't perfect yet

his bored eyes were obscene

on his denim thighs a magazine

I wish he'd never come here with me

in fact I wish he'd never come near me

I wish his shoulder

wasn't touching mine

I am growing older

waiting in this line

some of lifes best lessons

are learned at the worst times

under the fierce flourescent

she offered her hand for me to hold

she offered stability and calm

and I was crushing her palm

through the pinch pull wincing

my smile unconvincing

on that sterile battlefield that sees

only casualties

never heros

my heart hit absolute zero

Lucille, your voice still sounds in me

mine was a relatively easy tragedy

now the profile of our country

looks a little less hard nosed

but that picket line persisted

and that clinic's since been closed

they keep pounding their fists on reality

hoping it will break

but I don't think there's a one of us

leads a life free of mistakes

he said "ani, you've gotten tough."

'cause my tone was curt

yeah, and when i'm approached in a dark alley

i don't lift my skirt

in this city

self-preservation is a full time occupation

i'm determined

to survive on this shore

you know, i don't avert my eyes anymore

in a man's world i am

a woman by birth

and after nineteen

times around i have found

they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth

talk to me now

i played the powerless

in too many dark scenes

and i was blessed with a birth and a death

and i guess i just want some say in between

don't you understand?

in the day to day

or the face to face

i have to act

just as strong as i can

just to preserve a place

where i can be who i am

talk to me now

oh, if you still know how

you can talk to me now

oh, if you still know how

you can talk to me now

oh, if you still know how

you can talk to me now

oh if you

Lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/Good%20Charlotte%20Lyrics/We%20Believe%20Lyrics.html

There’s a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asked God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can’t sleep at night
Downtown another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There’s no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right
Just wanna make this right
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe in this love
We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pain
So let it be
There’s a love that could fall down like rain
Let us see
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
What we need
And no one really knows what they are searching for
We believe
This world is crying for so much more
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe in this love
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe in this love
So this world is too much for you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I’ll be everything you need
In every way
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe in this love
In this love
We believe
In this love
We believe
In this love
We believe
In this love

You left them swimming for their lives
Down in new orleans
Can't afford a gallon of gasoline
With your useless degrees and contrary statistics
This government business is straight up sadistic

Now you don't fight for us
But expect us to die for you
You have no sympathy for us
But still i cry for you
Now you may kill the revolutionary
But the revolution you can never bury

Don't speak to us like we work for you
Selling false hope like some new dope we're addicted to
I'm not a desperate man but these are desperate times at hand
This generation is beyond your command

And it won't be long

'til the people flood the streets
To take you down
One and all
A black rain is gonna fall

It’s a morning yearning
It’s a morning yearning
Pull the curtains shut try to keep it dark
But the sun is burning
The sun is burning

The world awakens on the run
And we’ll soon be earning
We’ll soon be earning
With hopes of better days to come
That’s a morning yearning
Morning yearning

Morning yearning…

Another day another chance to get it right
Must I still be learning?
Must I still be learning?
Baby crying kept us up all night
With her morning yearning
With her morning yearning

Morning yearning…

Like a summer rose I’m a victim of the fall
But am soon returning
Soon returning
You’re love’s the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning
My morning yearning

Do you know which road you're travelling.

Oppression
you pray on us when we sleep
oppression
you chase after the tired the poor the weak
oppression
you know you mean only harm
oppression
you reach out with your long arm

but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me

oppression
you seek population control
oppression
to divide and to conquer is your goal
oppression
I swear that hatred is your home
oppression
you just won't leave bad enough alone

but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me

oppression
I don't see how you sleep
oppression
for your bleeding conscience I weep
oppression
you may have the dollar on your side
but oppression
from the gospel truth you cannot hide
and
oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me
oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall fear me

You're the first one to get there
And always the last one to leave
You're the first one to chuckle
But the last one to grieve
I know all too well the world takes a daily beating

Please don't talk about murder while i'm eating

You walk into the temple
And call it a church
I try to keep things simple
But you always need the works
Your life is marked by numbers and symbols
Excessive drinking from out of golden thimbles

Just a moment of silence i'm needing

So let's not talk about murder while i'm eating

You get all hot and bothered
At the strangest times and places
But don't notice the looks on all the other faces
You're dressed for summer in the middle of december
What you've all but forgotten
I painfully remember
I don't care in the least what you're reading

Please don't talk about murder while i'm eating

Battles over which direction to kneel
People reaching out to touch
But forgetting to feel
Daily breath shouldn't be a daily penance
Is that what you believe
Or just a life sentence

I look into the mirror
And i see someone there i used to know
They all want you to serve them
But the only one you got to serve
Is your soul

So much time
And at such a cost
We spend looking for what we've lost
Now that you know
You can't find it from him
You're gonna have to find it within

I look into the mirror
And i see that life has taken its toll
They'll all want you to serve them
But the only one you got to serve
Is your soul

Listen to the wind it won't lie to you
If you love it let it go
And watch it fly to you
Every setting sun gently weeps
You can always hear it
'cause trust never sleeps

Water creeps
Through the windows, up the stairs

Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere

[Chorus]
Don't wanna reach for me do you
I mean nothin to you
The little things give you away

And now there will be no mistakin
The levees are breakin

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water
I
Do
[End Chorus]

Hope decays
Generations disappear

Washed away
As a nation simply stares

[Chorus]
Don't wanna reach for me do you
I mean nothin to you
The little things give you away

But there will be no mistakin
The levees are breakin

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under water
I
Do

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you

And six feet under ground now
I
Now I do
[End Chorus]

It's known to be cruel and unfair

But there is no place to hide

Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share

Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there

Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

I can't sleep - haunted by their faces

The sadness in their eyes

It hurts so much to see them helpless

It makes me want to cry

But still there is so much left unanswered

For so many innocent lives

They closed the door and are letting nobody in

And only the strong will survive

Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams

And I've watched their existence torn apart at the seams

And though I may seem helpless

I will do all that I can do

I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share

Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there

Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

Lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/Red%20Hot%20Chili%20Peppers%20Lyrics/Save%20The%20Population%20Lyrics.html

History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong

Sing another drinking song the honkytonk will do
Making another breaking bone your favorite ingenue
This the distant dawn
This the distant dawn

I put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One picks his broken down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean
Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes round
I'm sure that you will go down

CHORUS:
Stay all night
we'll save the population
Stay all night
we'll save the population
Stay all night
we'll save the population
Stay all night
we'll save the population

(Instrumental Bridge)

Pistol and its pawn
Sell it to the lexicon
A pistol and its pawn
Blood and border lines be drawn

Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew
Make another awful sound, a rather gothic brew
History's so strong
History's so strong

I put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One picks his broken down devotion
I threw my pistol in the ocean
Eyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes round
I'm sure that you will go down

Stay all night we'll save the population....

Hey you, see me, pictures crazy
All the world Ive seen before me passing by
Ive got nothing, to gain, to lose
All the world Ive seen before me passing by
You dont care about how I feel
I dont feel it any more
You dont care about how I feel
I dont feel it any more
You dont care about how I feel
I dont feel it any more
You dont care about how I feel
I dont feel it any more
Hey you, are me, not so pretty
All the world Ive seen before me passing by
Silent my voice, Ive got no choice
All the world Ive seen before me passing by
You dont care about how I feel
I dont feel it any more
You dont care about how I feel

You dont care about how I feel

Lyrics: http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/System-Of-A-Down/Boom.html

I've been walking through your streets,
Where all your money's earning,
Where all your building's crying
And clueless neckties working,
Revolving fake lawn houses,
Housing all your fears,
Desensitized by TV,
Overbearing advertising,
God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures
Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information,
For the public eye,
Designed for profiteering,
Your neighbor, what a guy.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

Modern globalization,
Coupled with condemnations,
Unnecessary death,
Matador corporations,
Puppeting your frustrations,
With the blinded flag,
Manufacturing consent,
Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money,
Nobody gives a fuck.
4000 hungry children leave us per hour,
From starvation,
While billions are spent on bombs,
Creating death showers.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM

Whyyy...must weee...kill ooour own kiiind...?

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM
Every time you drop the bomb.

Lyrics: http://www.dapslyrics.com/display.php?sid=13343

Why do they always send the poor?

My God is of Bible blood with pointed ears

Victorious, victorious steel

Can your spending kneel?

Marching forward hypocritic

And hypnotic computers

You depend on our protection

Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

La la la la la la la la la la

Everybody is going to the party

Have a real good time

Dancing in the desert

Blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses

Disappearing into Moses' dry mouth

Breaking into Fort Knox

Stealing our intentions

Every city, gripped in oil

Crying freedom!

Handed to obsoletion

Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

la la la la la la la la la la

Everybody is going to the party

Have a real good time

Dancing in the desert

Blowing up the sunshine

Everybody is going to the party

Have a real good time

Dancing in the desert

Blowing up the sunshine

Blast off, it's party time

And we all live in a fascist nation

Blast off, it's party time

And where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses

Disappearing into Moses' dry mouth

Breaking into Fort Knox

Stealing our intentions

Every city, gripped in oil

Crying freedom!

Handed to a obsoletion

Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

la la la la la la la la la la

Everybody is going to the party

Have a real good time

Dancing in the desert

Blowing up the sunshine

Everybody is going to the party

Have a real good time

Dancing in the desert

Blowing up the sun

Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?

Why do they always send the poor?

They always send the poor!

Why, Die Walk Down

A whole race Genocide,

Taken away all of our pride,

A whole race Genocide,

Taken away, Watch Them all fall down.

Revolution, the only solution,

The armed response of an entire nation,

Revolution, the only solution,

We've taken all your shit, now it's time for restitution.

Recognition, Restoration, Reparation,

Watch them all fall down.

Revolution, the only solution,

The armed response of an entire nation,

Revolution, the only solution,

We've taken all your shit, now it's time for restitution.

The plan was mastered and called Genocide,

(Never want to see you around)

Took all the children and then we died,

(Never want to see you around)

The few that remained were never found,

(Never want to see you around)

All in a system of Down......

Down.....Down.......Down........Walk Down...........

Watch them all fall down,

Revolution, the only solution,

The armed response of an entire nation,

Revolution, the only solution,

We've taken all your shit, now it's time for restitution.

The plan was mastered and called Genocide

(Never want to see you around)

Took all the children and then we died,

(Never want to see you around)

The few that remained were never found,

(Never want to see you around)

Lyrics: http://www.thelyricarchive.com/lyrics/prisonsong.shtml

They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
Following the rights movement
You clamped on with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids
Following the rights movement
You clamped on with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently
Available for all the kids
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
Right here in hollywood
(nearly 2 million americans are
incarcerated in the prison system
prison system of the US)
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
(for you and me to live in)
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
(for you and me to live in)
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
you don't even flinch
all our taxes paying for your wars
against the new non-rich
Minor drug offenders fill your prisons
you don't even flinch
all our taxes paying for your wars
against the new non-rich
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
right here in hollywood
The percentage of americans in the prison system
prison system, has doubled since 1985
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
(for you and me to live in)
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
For you and I, For you and I, For you and I.
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
For you and me
Oh baby, you and me.
All research and successful drug policy show
that treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimun sentences
All research and successful drug policy show
that treatment should be increased
And law enforcement decreased
While abolishing mandatory minimun sentences
Utilising drugs to pay for secret wars around the world
drugs are now your global policy now you police the globe
I buy my crack, I smack my bitch
right here in hollywood
Drug money is used to rig elections
and train brutal corporate sponsored dictators
around the world
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
(for you and me to live in)
Another prison system
Another prison system
Another prison system
(for you and me to live in)
For you and I, for you and I, for you and I
For you and I
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
They're trying to build a prison
for you and me
oh baby, you and me

I dont mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I cant feed on the powerless
When my cups already overfilled
But its on the table
The fire is cooking
And theyre farming babies
While the slaves are working
The blood is on the table
And their mouths are choking
But Im growing hungry

Lyrics: http://www.lyricsdownload.com/ultravox-dancing-with-tears-in-my-eyes-lyrics.html

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes

You're gonna lose
You have to lose
You have to learn how to die

Just watching the miles flying by
Just watching the miles flying by
You are not my typewriter
But you could be my demon
moving forward through the flaming doors

You have to lose
You have to learn how to die
if you want to want to be alive, okay?

You have to lose
You have to lose
You have to learn how to die
if you want to want to be alive

You have to die
You have to die
You have to learn how to die
if you want to want to be alive, okay?

It's Christmas at ground zero
There's music in the air
The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing
While the air raid sirens blare

It's Christmas at ground zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That this is not a test

Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping
It's the end of all humanity
No more time for last-minute shopping
It's time to face your final destiny

It's Christmas at ground zero
There's panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath the mushroom cloud

You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
But if someone's climbing down your chimney
You better load your gun and shoot to kill

It's Christmas at ground zero
And if the radiation level's okay
I'll go out with you and see all the new
Mutations on New Year's Day

It's Christmas at ground zero
Just seconds left to go
I'll duck and cover with my Yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe

It's Christmas at ground zero
Now the missiles are on their way
What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday

What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday!
