Well we'd all go down to our caverns underground And in our backyard caves we'd hear the sirens sound And we took it very well when then black rains fell When the dust came down around us we were safe and sound
It was baby needs shoes the PTA and barbeques And it was two-handed touch out on the white house lawn And we were nobody's fools fillin' in the swimming pools We poured concrete and steel when the neighbours had gone
Now we all live here together Yes we all live here as one Now we all share the comforts Of a hole in the ground And we all remember livin' in the sun Here in the shelter
We heard nuclear freeze we heard first-strike strategies We heard how to pay the taxman when the big one falls We heard good guys and bad guys we heard little lies and big lies About who comes out the winners and it's not that bad at all
When a madman gets a gun he's gonna point it at someone If it's up in texas tower or over there across the pond And if you step on his pride or if he hurts somewhere inside He might let one fly when his nerves are gone
Now we all live here together Yes we all live here as one Now we all share the comforts Of a hole in the ground And we all remember livin' in the sun Here in the shelter
