Americans dream of a weapon
That can take you out in 1.5 seconds
While leaving all the buildings intact
and bummin' the GIs with nothing left to attack
There's nothing wrong with the atom bomb
cuz you're safe at home with Mom
mmm another mouthful of that TV dinner
While we watch to see who'll be the winner of
total annihilation
No one can detonate a nuclear weapon
but the government
in America? It's just not done.
that is, if under a ton of engineered opinion
It doesn't matter what's true
Just what they're telling you
American freedom helps me forget myself
Long enough to pursue the wealth, watch my health
Let the specialists protect my rights
With antimatter might
This antimatter might
Might defend my right to fight
Against our nuclear defense
Hey you powerful men who aint listening
I've been wonderin
you gonna let us know
When the warheads burst from the silo?
Or will I find out when it happens
Like playing 80 billion megaton lotto
Japan woke America, the sleeping giant
Long enough for him to make a pill
To make the whole world still
And claim it was the peoples' will
America once a sleeping giant, groggily built a Godly atomic machine
Then he yawned, stretched, and pressed standby
Now we can all rest in pieces he did sigh
As he returned to the American dream in Americans' dreams
While some of the world is dying of fright
Trying to shake and wake America tonight
Others are stocking up nukes
To keep up with us sick pukes
I'm not puttin up a pretense
Acting in our best interest
In an emergency crises
Left to the specialist
Deciding what's best for the masses
The end of WWII with minimal casualties
With a potential of ending world peace permanently
Where else could you buy these thoughts?
That we got control over our nuclear arsenals
Why in a fluorescently lit supermarket
With all these great places to shop
We are placed high up on top
