Lyrics
Sitting high on your sugar mountain
We're tempted by the taste
It took a hold of you and spun you around
So you couldn't even see things straight
Were you born in a mansion?
Born in the ghetto?
Born in the winter, summer?
Why would anybody care?
So Radioactive, feel it burning
Find it hard, to catch your breath
You're ready for action
Won't see it coming
Till the clouds flash overhead
I heard a sigh come from Sugar Mountain
Many years were put to waste
It took a toll on you and everyone 'round
Placing lines upon our face
Were you born in a mansion?
Born in the ghetto?
Born in the winter, summer?
Why would anybody care?
So Radioactive, feel it burning
Find it hard, to catch your breath
You're ready for action
Won't see it coming
Till the clouds are overhead
