lyrics

The president’s plane is missing,
New York City’s in flames;
The leaders have just hit that button
To play the last video game!

The high-pitched sirens are screaming
The economy’s taking a dive
Just for fun, we’ll hit defcon one
We’ll all be buried alive!

Radio across the nation killing us with radiation...

U.S.A. and Iraq
Look at the mess we’re creatin’
Must we turn to God
Or must we turn to Satan?

I give my brother money to buy some bread and honey -
He puts on cloaks and rags;
He comes on home - totally stoned - with some nickel bags!
I beat him up - society's corrupt! It's a social disease!
The President and Parliament are vacationing overseas!

Ripshit rampage! Blow the world to nothing!
Ripshit rampage! Someone press the button!

After days and days, I never got a raise...
I asked for one - I lost my job;
Had a house but I was kicked right out
Now, I got a bus stop!
My brother's gonna cry 'cause he can't get high
but there are other ways to leave the ground;
He could take a plane but that would be insane
‘cause someone's gonna shoot it down!

My brother's only six, he's having sex -
He's a one man show;
Every radio station across the nation
Never plays our rock 'n' roll!
To put this hell to an end, we need a godsend,
The earth can exist no more...
When we die, no one's gonna cry
For our teeming shore!
