lyrics

LIVING UNDER

The radio you clutch is drowned by the sirens wailing.
This is it! This is it, and the family is helter skelter.
Your running down the steps that lead to your private shelter,
But it won’t do you any good.
The radio announced that the nuclear dawn has arrived.
The radio announced that you’ve twenty-three minutes alive.
The radio announced that only undergrounders survive.
The radio you clutch is drowned by the sirens wailing
This is it! This is it, and the family is helter skelter.
Your running down the steps that lead to your private shelter.
But it won’t do you any good.
The radio you clutch is drowned by the sirens wailing.
This is it! This is it, and the family is helter skelter.
Your running down the steps that lead to your private shelter,
But it won’t do you any good.
The radio announced that the nuclear dawn has arrived.
The radio announced that you’ve twenty-three minutes alive.
The radio announced that only undergrounders survive.
