Been through mass destruction once, but once was not enough   Said we want a second chance, and all they say is tough   A world where science went too far, there's no way to survive   Why can't we get this thing straightened out, I want to stay alive      They burned and bombed the east and north and there's no place left to go   The sun belt's overcrowded, so let's annex mexico   The peso's only worth a dime, but they've got all that land   No need for a civil war, we know they'll understand, right?       Is that how you like it?       Factories left unattended, crumbling to the ground   We tried to keep them running, but there's no more oil around   We used it all to fight a war that neither side could win   Vietnam was little league compared to where we've been      Now we live in caves and huts, and we don't have pay tv   And everyone is signing up for the newest industry   Standard oil goes solar power, all try to make a buck   So I'll sit around and smoke cigarettes, and I'll babble "what the fuck? "
