Jello Biafra - Falling Space Junk lyrics
Your rating:
Nuclear satellites Thrown up in space Will all burn out some day Guess where they'll crash We've been lucky so far Every toy up there Is another Chernobyl Waiting to happen Why? Space shuttle blew up again People drop dead News says "DON'T WORRY" Then the truth comes out Since 1988 Every shuttle in space Has carried 46 Pounds of plutonium Why? I don't know I'm scared to care Enough plutonium That if it blows The fallout cancer Could kill 5 billion people So now it's over It's really over Space junk in the street Irradiated atmosphere Fallout covers the earth Greenhouse so hot we fry Six months, maybe years We all know we'll die So - what matters now? NOTHING matters now Imagine what would happen If everyone on earth Realized this at once Gonna go loot stores! Piss anywhere! Break into peoples houses Play with their underwear Strew all my prizes in the street You can't take it with you Nothing left to do But go home And bolt the doors Why? Let's curl up real close And tell each other All the things we still don't know About our lives Why? Falling space junk in the streets Radiation in the air Nothing left that's safe to eat The sky is melting And I want my mommy. JESUS WAS A TERRORIST WORDS & MUSIC: BIAFRA Jesus was a terrorist Enemy of the state That's what the Romans labeled him So he was put to death He died for his beliefs What's changed today? Today bible-thumping cannibals Reap money from his name Buy cable networks & power With old ladies' checks If Jesus saw Pat Robertson What do you think he'd say? Tax-free they re-write our laws And sick 'em on you Women don't control their bodies TV preachers do Censor everything from bathing suits To science books From the schoolroom to the bedroom They want our thoughts - or else They treat us like the Romans Used to treat the Christians Even some churchgoing folks are scared Modern catacombs of fear Built with money, power and threats Rock'n'roll is labeled porn Sell a record, you're under arrest Instead of fighting AIDS They try to stop us having sex They brag that they won't quit Til they take dominion over our lives Is freedom of speech such a terrorist act Is spiritual peace such a satanic threat Believe what you want But we'll fight to keep Out heads from being cemented in your sand
