about

A cautionary tale about a post apocalyptic nuclear wasteland.

lyrics

“How did we let it get this far?”

If we all die, I hope it doesn't happen too slow
I'll dry your eyes, you look so happy in the glow
We'll go deep underground, behind thick concrete walls
We'll be safe and sound when the free world falls
And though I know it'll never be the same
Our dirges we'll sing and we'll bow our heads in shame
How did we let it get this far?
How did we let it get this far?

When the power is gone and all we have is a few books
It won't be too long before we only have a few scraps to cook
Dinner from a tin can, I'm dreaming of bread it's getting to my head
In a hole that's made by man, cause everyone is dead
How long till we're back to the start?
This family can't stop tearing each other apart
What has happened tro our hearts?
What has happened to our hearts?

The world is dark and the hour is late
With a single spark we've sealed our fate
So many children and wives
Gone because of bloodlust
So many innocent lives
Reduced to dust
We've poisoned our home now nothing will grow
Now we're all alone we've got no place left to go
Why did we drop the bomb?
Why did we drop the bomb?
