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!
