[Intro]

In the case of nuclear or radiological fallout

People living around potential targets such as military bases and chemical plants may be advised to may be advised to evacuate

Protection from radioactive fallout will require taking shelter in an underground area or in the middle of a large building

Fallout shelters can be any protected space where the walls and roof are thick and dense enough to absorb radiation

You just got to realize that evеrybody's going to be on your tail from five o'clock until the day you diе


[Verse 1]

Come on in to this human game

Another round of blame

They have a bullet with every name

Carved in led without a bit of shame

It's all a lie by the people we trust

A silent war where we all go bust

No way to win or even slightly adjust

When all your dreams are completely crushed


[Pre-Chorus]

We feed the machine as they roll the dice

Heartless and mean and cold as ice, cold as ice


[Chorus]

(Money makers, hateful fakers)

(Greedy wolves who run the pack)

(Human breakers, lifeless quakers)

The monkey on our backs


[Verse 2]

Please sit down and accept your cards

The devil sends his regards

We've dug a hole in your own backyard

Your final boulevard

All your kings and your queens can't win

When they have all the aces under their skin

Just for kicks, they'll take your for a spin

Before the real games truly begin


[Pre-Chorus]

We feed the machine as they roll the dice

Heartless and mean and cold as ice, cold as ice


[Chorus]

(Money makers, hateful fakers)

(Greedy wolves who run the pack)

(Human breakers, lifeless quakers)

The monkey on our backs, oh

(Evil takers, God forsakers)

The monkey on our backs


[Bridge]

No way to win

Oh no


[Guitar Solo]


[Chorus]

(Money makers, hateful fakers)

(Greedy wolves who run the pack)

(Human breakers, lifeless quakers)

The monkey on our backs, oh

(Evil takers, God forsakers)

(Play us fools outside the tracks)

(Like dictators, war creators)

The monkey on our backs


[Outro]

Seven o'clock tonight, we'll be out of the country and you'll never see us again
