All you know
Good be turned to dust
in a matter of time and matches
Then we'll see who's laughing when
all those housing projects that you hide behind
crumble to the distant memories
of your friendly neighbourhood Deus Ex Machina

We'll light it up, sit back and watch it burn

Gather round and strike a match
We'll watch the embers as they burn to ash
And blow to the wind

There's no use crying over spilt blood
but it so much easier when you're prepared
and I can see it coming a mile off
from my ivory penthouse.
There's a lot of people praying for the rapture
there's a whole lot of people waiting for the end times
me, I can't wait.
Mushroom clouds look so pretty from a safe distance
and from a safe distance...

We'll pour a stiff drink, sit back and watch it burn

Gather round and strike a match
We'll watch the embers as they burn to ash
And blow to the wind
