Following total atomic annihilation, the rebuilding of this great nation of ours may fall to you

That's why we at Vault-Tec have prepared these educational materials for you to better understand the seven defining attributes that make you S.P.E.C.I.A.L

The future foretells a tale of when the world goes boom-boom

Nobody prepared, don't think anybody cared about the sole truth

Oh the bombs, they rose, now everybody knows the Doomsday device

Claustrophobic, autotrophic, catastrophic hell will be soon and be up in the sky

Even when the world feels lonely and cold inside

Even when your heart feels blistered from the scenes

For they would fall, for they would rise

For they would tear apart the view from your very eyes

Take your hindsight and change the world (For a new beginning)

For it's now your chance to use your hands

Descend through the cracks in the dirt where you stand

Take on the vast open masquerade, this is atomic renegade

Use your senses and you'll prove you're whole again

You're the hero of this land demised with pain

For they would fall, for they would rise

For they would tear apart the view from your very eyes

Take your hindsight and change the world (For a new beginning)

For it's now your chance to use your hands

Descend through the cracks in the dirt where you stand
