Lyrics
There's thirty-thousand megatons pointed at her
There are thirty-thousand megatons aimed at humanity.
And him and you and me and everyone we serve
These megatons target everyone, emphasizing shared responsibility.
I look out at the mirror, look out at the world
Reflecting on oneself and the world, contemplating the impact.
Thirty-thousand megatons is just what we deserve
Thirty-thousand megatons represent the consequences humanity deserves.
And I don't get out of bed no more
Expressing a sense of despair or resignation, avoiding engagement.
Beasts learned to talk a bit just to survive
Humans, despite primal instincts, have evolved to communicate for survival.
But we're not even beasts, it's a wonder we're alive
Questioning human existence, marveling at survival against odds.
We're baser than the base, deaf and dumb and blind
Describing humanity as primitive, lacking sensory perception.
I'll not stand for Maybelline, or Kyle or Jackie O
Rejecting conformity to societal standards or popular figures.
Or my sunburnt country burning people I don't know
Disapproving of the destructive actions of one's own country.
I'll not stand alone, or sing in one tune
Rejecting isolation, advocating for collective action or expression.
To see a Virgin air hostess serve Bolly on the moon
Imagining an unusual scenario, highlighting absurdity.
And if I was the man on the Moon, I wouldn't let us near
If controlling the Moon, the speaker would keep humanity away.
I'd stand on a crater with my shotgun to the sky
Envisioning a defensive stance, protecting celestial bodies.
And leave us to our mines and our Tinder 'til we die
Suggesting self-destruction through mining and superficial relationships.
And the Earth will sigh, and the Moon will wipe its brow
Anticipating consequences for Earth and Moon if humanity continues.
We need thirty-thousand megatons
Emphasizing the need for drastic action, calling for thirty-thousand megatons.
Push the button now
Urging to activate the destructive force immediately.
We need thirsty-thousand megatons
Reiterating the call for thirty-thousand megatons urgently.
Push the button now
Stressing the importance of pushing the button without delay.
Out on the street, it's only vitamins and hate
Observing a bleak reality with references to substance abuse and hostility.
We'll soon be out of Xanax and then it'll be too late
Warning of running out of medication and the impending consequences.
We need thirty-thousand megatons, why wait?
Reiterating the need for thirty-thousand megatons without delay.
Why wait?
Emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
We need thirty-thousand megatons
Repeating the call for thirty-thousand megatons.
Push the button now
Renewing the plea to activate the destructive force immediately.
We need thirty-thousand megatons
Echoing the need for thirty-thousand megatons urgently.
Push the button now
Reiterating the urgency of pushing the button without delay.
