lyrics

I've never seen such pure destruction in my life
They're fighting in the streets just round the bend
So close the door and cut all ties with the outside
Put on some tunes and have a drink or three

This secret war just isn't helpful for our trade
Who wants to shop around in ash and flames
Business as usual is the mantra of the day
Until some sucker deals with your remains

Transmissions are sounding odd
The wireless never lies
They're selling us fiction while the
Fire rains down from the sky
The tower has fallen but they
Say all's well on the line
There's blood on the airwaves in between
The message of all's fine

Pull up a chair
Ignore the rumbling and the smell
I wasn't quite expecting refugees
Between the bombs and all the
Gunfire who can tell
If they'll keep their charade up on TV

Transmissions are sounding odd
The wireless never lies
They're selling us fiction while the
Fire rains down from the sky
The tower has fallen but they
Say all's well on the line
There's blood on the airwaves in
Between the message of all's fine,
Between the message of all's fine,
Between the message of all's fine

You think we can get out of here alive?

We try to escape
And creep through the fragments of our life
A message of hope
reduced to a tattered flag in the wind
It all seems so quiet, now
I think we were wrong to come outside

Whatever seeking spirit bought us out through space
Was overturned when they tried to put us in our place
Time was, when this was all a dream
Time was, but now there's things to fear

Transmissions are failing now
There's too much noise on the line
Resisting their rule it's just a
Vain defiance of the odds
Soon we'll look back and see it was
Just a matter of time
There's blood on the airwaves
Bleeding into what's left of our lives
