If the radiance of a thousand suns Were to burst at once Into the sky, that would be like The splendor of the mighty one Now I am become death, The destroyer of worlds A foul and awesome display, far and away, The cataclysm unfurls Best shield your eyes, child It's glowing red Impact of guilt, what have we built Start tabulating the dead Now we are all sons of bitches And we have murdered history There is no going back anymore This is the end of humanity [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [solo: Morris] It's time to light them up And burn them down Success breeds arrogance [solo: Young] Go on, light them up And burn them down! Success drains all hope The future is lost Let's toast to victory With plutonium And turn to ash in our triumph Because we all died! [solo: Morris]

[solo: Morris] Keep using and carping and fretting and bashing And twisting and whining and hashing Exhausting, so tedious and boring, it's needless The pabulum of platitudes you feed us It ain't about your clique, buddy No point in being insular Why don't you get off your sofa, Plug in and celebrate life These clichés and buzzwords and bromides, enraging They put me off right from the start My guitar and amp, compositions, engaging Construction: state of the art Metal ain't a slogan, pal It's all about a state of mind Gatekeeping is the enemy So turn off standby and crank it up loud! [duet: Morris & Young] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [solo: Young] Release your creativity A grand purpose for your misery [duet: Morris & Young] No one can tell you what it means It's as subjective as a dream And if the filth gets into your head Then you might as well be dead! [solo: Young]

Oh, you give the people what they want No smartass know-how-to-do-stuff shit will be permitted It's not cool to be good at anything anymore You wonder if something is built in the USA It's gonna explode, no matter where it's made So, obsolescence is the plan And you couldn't fix it even if you tried It's not cool to be good at doing things anymore You wonder if something is built in the USA It's gonna explode, no matter where it's made Everything is falling apart piece by piece It shouldn't surprise you, we're post-expertise [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] Don't listen to anyone else [solo: Morris] You're smarter than all those stupid experts [solo: Young] And as our infrastructure crumbles to dust [solo: Morris] That'll show those elitist shit-knowing pricks! Yeah! Show'em!

Deep Insight 05:18
Pick your poison, tough guy Yeah, you're a real tough guy Tell us all about how you'll shoot them government agents The Grand Conspiracy! Explain it on Facebook Yeah, post it on Twitter Put it on Instagram But something you should know But something you should know There's something you should know chorus: There is no way out No matter what you do or say Someone else has power over you Even if you break free All you do is just pass it along and then Someone else has power over you Power over you Power over you Pick your poison, manly man Cuz I don't see you out there Going off the grid and living in a forest (Unibomber?) Are the feds gonna track you With a nanotech vaccine? Shoot me a text about it Send it from your iPhone But something you should know But something you should know Hey, there's something you should know [chorus] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [chorus] [solo: Morris] [chorus] [solo: Young] Power over you So whatcha gonna do? Power over you

Scrapyard 04:49
[solo: Morris] A hurricane of shrapnel and lead Felled these beasts Once proud but brought low By the war Like a scourge of locusts flying in To claim their feast The bullets stalk their victims Always wanting more chorus: War has left behind A field of smoking husks Devastation by design War has chewed upon A thousand smoking husks Everything they fought for, gone [solo: Young] A tornado of shrapnel and lead Won the war Each battle futile and hopeless But proceeding Nobody remembers what they're Fighting for Hatred and desolation So succeeding [chorus] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [chorus] [duet: Young & Morris]

Drone Strike 04:59
Systems go and seeking Target analyzing You won't see it coming Drone strike, out of the ether And before you know it You're already dead chorus: A missile attack from the sky Unmanned and unaccountable Death comes from high above Unmanned and irresponsible [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] And before you know it You're already dead [chorus] And they will never even see your face They'll never know you were a civilian And they will never even see your face They'll never know you were innocent

Fuel ignites inside Lithium deuteride Compress the secondary It's supercritical 300 million kelvin We're cooking tritium Free neutrons explode (outward) And make isotopes Collapse the secondary It's supercritical 300 million kelvin We're cooking tritium chorus: We have failed to save our world And now we see our hate released [solo: Morris] [solo: Young] [chorus] [duet: Morris & Young] [chorus] Detonation of the first stage X-rays flood the void Impinging upon the tamper Increasing density Crushing pressure on the spark plug Supercritical Heat the thermonuclear fuel And fusion has begun
