Out on the streets they're all living in fear

You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near

One push of a button is all it would take

To dress the world in black

One fault in the system, a fatal mistake

And you'll never come back from a nuclear attack

The Russians are ready, the U.S. is armed

They try and tell us there's no cause for alarm

If you think you can live like a rat in a sewer

There might be a chance you'll stay alive

But no one can say, no one knows for sure

Just who will survive a nuclear attack, a nuclear attack

You may never come back from a nuclear attack

Out on the streets they're all living in fear

You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near

You won't know what's hit you, it'll happen so fast

Won't be the time to even scream

You'll just be burned up by the heat of the blast

A thing of the past in a nuclear attack

A nuclear attack

You may never come back from a nuclear attack

You'll never come back from a nuclear attack

The world will just crack

There's no turning back from a nuclear attack
