| If anybody hears me now
|
| This is coming from way underground
|
| From a bunker in the plains of the middle west
|
| I guess you know by now
|
| Things got out of hand somehow
|
| Duck and cover did not pass the test
|
| I did the job they gave to me
|
| Punched in the codes, turned the key
|
| You could feel the rumble all the way down to your bones
|
| I don’t know where mine were aimed
|
| You never know that kind of thing
|
| But east of the jordan river no one answers the phone
|
| And what we did
|
| We did because god told us to
|
| What it cost was everything we had
|
| If you’re hearing the sound of my voice
|
| Believe me they left us no choice
|
| I’m just missing the sound of the children I’ll never have
|
| I’ll never have
|
| They must’ve had some warning there
|
| They got the cabinet in the air
|
| You never saw old men movin' so fast
|
| I guess they’re still in charge
|
| They’re still the palace guard
|
| At least until the plane runs out of gas
|
| (Repeat refrain)
|
| We did what we did, did what we did
|
| Cause god told us to
|
| We did what we did, did what we did
|
| Cause he loves you
|
| Salvation is waiting — most of you are already there
|
| Salvation is waiting — most of you are already there
|
| What we did… |
