Lyrics
The radio gives its warning about the impending attack
The shelters have been opened and the people are tightly packed
a voice comes on the air waves and says they've passed the radar wall
The sirens wail like trumpters announcing the arrival of those
cruise cruise cruise missiles
cruise missiles in the atmosphere
cruise cruise cruise missiles
Cruise missiles got us livin in fear
The president hits the hot line to the generals at the post
and says that they must be stopped before they reach the coast
or they'll be a red sky, over paradise
the apple in a mushroom cloud we can't afford the price that we pay for those
cruise cruise cruise missiles
cruise missiles in the atmosphere
cruise cruise cruise missiles
Cruise missiles got us livin in fear
-excerpt from Ronald Reagan speech-
Passing through the atmosphere targets zeroed in
programmed for destruction neither side will win
a dead and barren wasteland is all that they leave behind
the living must stay underground
until the end of time all because of those
cruise cruise cruise missiles
cruise missiles in the atmosphere
cruise cruise cruise missiles
Cruise missiles got us livin in fear
