[Intro]

Following total atomic annihilation, the rebuilding of this great nation of ours may fall to you

That's why we at Vault-Tec have prepared these educational materials for you to better understand the seven defining attributes that make you S.P.E.C.I.A.L

[Verse 1]

The future foretells a tale of when the world goes boom-boom (When the world goes boom-boom)

Nobody prepared, don't think anybody cared about the sole truth (Think anybody cared about the sole truth)

Oh the bombs, they rose, now everybody knows the Doomsday device (Doomsday device)

Claustrophobic, autotrophic, catastrophic hell will be soon and be up in the sky

Even when the world feels lonely and cold inside

Even when the heart feels blistered from the scenes

[Chorus]

For they would fall, for they would rise

For they would tear apart the view from their very eyes

Take your hindsight and change the world (For a new beginning)

For it's now your chance to use your hands

Descend through the cracks in the dirt where you stand

Take on the vast open masquerade, this is atomic renegade

[Interlude]

Following total atomic annihilation, the rebuilding of this great nation of ours may fall to you

That's why we at Vault-Tec have prepared these educational materials for you to better understand the seven defining attributes that make you S.P.E.C.I.A.L

[Verse 2]

Resources are scarce, prepare yourself for homicidal rampage (Homicidal rampage)

Claim your rightful place, mark the writing on your face, turn a new page (Writing on your face, turn a new page)

Well, the bombs they took your land, and now you're left all alone (Left alone)

There's masses of rebellious, preposterous, demonical carnage ready for your bones

Use your senses and you'll prove you're whole again

You're the hero of this land demised with pain

[Chorus]

For they would fall, for they would rise

For they would tear apart the view from their very eyes

Take your hindsight and change the world (For a new beginning)

For it's now your chance to use your hands

Descend through the cracks in the dirt where you stand

Take on the vast open masquerade, this is atomic renegade

[Bridge]

Now let's begin with simple instructions on what makes you S.P.E.C.I.A.L

(Strength) Build your abilities to carry more

(Perception) Will keep your aim right where you want it to be

(Endurance) Brawns will tackle foes, but how long for?

(Charisma) Socialise, enemies are closer than you think

(Intelligence) Outsmart your foes with gadgets capable of removing harm

(Agility) Build reflexes to defend against approaching scum

(Luck) Tactic and strength are one thing, but sometimes all it takes is good luck

Now take your world and turn it upside down

One man pushes through, one mutant at a time

[Pre-Chorus]

For you will rise through hell and back

You foretell of times when you were under attack

But your hindsight changed the world

[Chorus]

For they would fall, for they would rise

For they would tear apart the view from their very eyes

Take your hindsight and change the world (For a new beginning)

For it's now your chance to use your hands

Descend through the cracks in the dirt where you stand

Take on the vast open masquerade, this is atomic renegade

[Outro]

Woah!

Take the world and begin the charge of the damned

Be sure to defend your brethren friend

You fight for the land, your army descends

You save a new race until the end
