| The government are real good to us | |
| They crowd in their shelters and let us die | |
| The nuclear holocaust won't last long | |
| White turns to black in the sky [Chorus] | |
| You build your demolition war | |
| What the hell are you fighting for? | |
| You keep your peace with the starving countries | |
| The Cambodians have to be fed | |
| But can't you see we've got our problems? | |
| You're taxing us to buy tons of lead [Chorus] | |
| Labour can take the businesses over | |
| Because they've got the worker's rights | |
| A choice of three for democracy | |
| And they're all parasites [Chorus] | |
| Parasites - taking over the country! | |
| Parasites - taking over your home! | |
| Parasites - taking over your mind! |
