Lyrics for They've Got a Bomb

They won't destroy the world, no, they're not that crazy. You're dealing with the town hall. They're not that crazy. No political solution so why should we bother? Well whose fucking head do you think they're holding over? FOUR. THREE. TWO. ONE. FIRE. They can't wait to use it. They can't wait to use it. They can't wait to try it out. They can't wait to use it. They've got a bomb. They've got a bomb And they can't wait to use it on me. Twenty odd years now waiting for the flash... Twenty odd years now waiting for the flash, All of the oddballs thinking we'll be ash. Well the four minute warning has run on into years, Are we waiting for them to confirm our fears? FOUR. THREE. TWO. ONE. FIRE. They can't wait to use it. They can't wait to use it. They can't wait to try it out. They can't wait to use it. They've got a bomb. They've got a bomb And they can't wait to use it on me. They can build them small, call it tactical. Stop the fallout, make it practical To smash the misfits who foul up their scene With the practical, tactical, killing machine. FOUR. THREE. TWO. ONE. FIRE. They can't wait to use it. They can't wait to use it. They can't wait to try it out. They can't wait to use it. They've got a bomb. They've got a bomb And they can't wait to use it on me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. I. Me. Me. Me.
