about

Sometimes you're your own worst enemy and then you go and homebrew some nuclear weapons.

lyrics

No place is safe except my head
I'll trust no one until they're dead
And they will never take my barrels full of yellowcake oh no...
No no no no no no
I am become afraid here comes the fire brigade oh no...
No no no no no no

You know I'm well prepared
To turn this town to dust just to prove that I'm not scared

All signs are pointing to the end
I'd sooner break than have to bend
These are the latter days third act of this awful play oh no...
No no no no no no
The Mayans counting down might work the next time round oh no...
No no no no no no

You know I speak the truth
I'll shear this flock of sheep if they keep demanding proof
