Ground Zero

Hey, what’s a little radiation among friends?

Oy, the speculation, “will the world end?”

It’s just a little atom, a puny little atom,

But baby, what a bang!

We’re lighting up the sky tonite

Einstein’s dyno-mite

Doom City and the tourists see

Mushroom rising gracefully

Time is gonna stumble, space is gonna rumble

Heaven’s gonna roar tonight.

Walls are gonna crumble, cars are gonna tumble

Heaven’s gonna roar tonite!

It’s a gas, what a blast, from the past.

Go gather up your friends, put on a real show.

Drive into the desert, watch the eerie glow

It’s only forty miles, frigging measly miles

Hey Vegas, that’s cuttin’ it close!

Dance section

(whisper)

Ground Zero is the place to be

Nuclear reality

But, Ground Zero is no longer there

Obliterated into air


Put goggles on your eyeballs and

Hunker in your bunker,

Duck and cover, kiss your ass goodbye.

Plutonium is pelting, skin rapidly melting

(all)

Bend over, kiss your ass goodbye!

It’s a gas. What a blast. From the past.

So, what’s a little radiation among friends?

Oh, the speculation, “Will the world end?”

It’s just a little atom, a friendly little atom

But baby, what a bang!
