(Gary Moore)
Out on the streets they're all living in fear.
You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near.
One push of a b***on is all it would take to dress the world in black.
One fault in the system, a fatal mistake, and you'll never come back from a nuclear attack.
The Russians are ready, the U.S. is armed.
They try and tell us there's no cause for alarm.
If you think you can live like a rat in a sewer, there might be a chance you'll stay alive.
But no one can say, no one knows for sure, just who will survive a nuclear attack, a nuclear attack.
You may never come back from a nuclear attack.
Out on the streets they're all living in fear.
You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near.
You won't know what's**** you, it'll happen so fast, won't be the time to even scream.
You'll just be burned up by the heat of the blast, a thing of the past in a nuclear attack.
A nuclear attack, you may never come back from a nuclear attack.
You'll never come back from a nuclear attack.
The world will just crack.
There's no turning back from a nuclear attack.
Out on the streets they're all living in fear.
You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near.
