Nuclear Attack Songtext
von Greg Lake

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.
