More radiation in the air
Each day new victims, it ain't fair
Moving through our lives in fear
And see the future crystal clear
Blistered corpses rotting slow
In the rivers poisons flow
Toxic waste where children play
This world's for sure on the path of decay
This world ain't moving, it's holding still
It's coming on us - overkill
I see a fire burning high
One more atomic lullaby
Pollution sweeps our mother Earth
Small chances for life's rebirth
Oxygen spite by venomous gas
Turning the air into a deadly mass
Alarm's ringing for final warning
The rich would say it's pretty boring
Fools don't know their lives are at stake
They're gonna make that fatal mistake
This world ain't moving, it's holding still
It's coming on us - overkill
I see a fire burning high
One more atomic lullaby
Perpetual shade of blackened sky
Darkness rules over this valley of cry
Still the factories are pounding faster
Leading us all to our disaster
This is it - overkill
Counting costs - overkill
Lasting pain - overkill
Dying world - overkill
Each day new victims, it ain't fair
Moving through our lives in fear
And see the future crystal clear
Blistered corpses rotting slow
In the rivers poisons flow
Toxic waste where children play
This world's for sure on the path of decay

It's coming on us - overkill
