If a weapon using an electromagnetic pulse strikes
There will be no television, no radio, no internet
No space flight, no money, no work, no industry
The ruins of civilization, will grow ancient, dead
Only empty strip malls, elevators, parking ramps
We built our society based upon safe false dreams
Those dreams become nightmares, in a wasteland
Suburbia now abandoned, we sit alone in our cage
Waiting for the final day, or scientists to save us
But will they?
After decades of being seen as our enemy
Will they?
After being cast as liars playing an evil game
When the disaster comes, we will see our folly
The end is sometimes a brand new beginning
Sometimes the hero is the one who is hated
For being willing to speak unpopular views
Willing to in the moment of danger
To stand up and speak the truth
There will be no television, no radio, no internet
No space flight, no money, no work, no industry
The ruins of civilization, will grow ancient, dead
Only empty strip malls, elevators, parking ramps
We built our society based upon safe false dreams
Those dreams become nightmares, in a wasteland
Suburbia now abandoned, we sit alone in our cage
Waiting for the final day, or scientists to save us
But will they?
After decades of being seen as our enemy
Will they?
After being cast as liars playing an evil game
When the disaster comes, we will see our folly
The end is sometimes a brand new beginning
Sometimes the hero is the one who is hated
For being willing to speak unpopular views
Willing to in the moment of danger
To stand up and speak the truth
