Lyrics Nuclear Attack - Greg Lake

Nuclear Attack

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
