Radioactive - Monkey on Our Backs lyrics

Artist: Radioactive

album: X.X.X.


"In the case of nuclear or radiological fallout
People living around potential targets
Such as military bases and chemical plants
May be advised to evacuate
Protection from radioactive fallout
Will require taking shelter in an underground area
Or in the middle of a large building
Fallout shelters can be any protective space
Where the walls and roof are thick and dense
Enough to absorb radiation"
"You just gotta realize
That everybody's gonna be on your tail
From five o'clock until the day you die"
Come on into this human game
Another round of blame
They have a bullet with every name
Carved in led without a bit of shame
It's all a lie by the people we trust
A silent war where we all go bust
No way to win or even slightly adjust
When all your dreams are completely crushed
We feed the machines as we roll the dice
Heartless and mean and cold as ice
Cold as ice
Money makers, hateful fakers
Greedy wolfs who run the pack
Human breakers, lifeless Quakers
The monkey on our backs
Please sit down and accept your cards
The devil sends his regards
We've dug a hole in your own backyard
Your final boulevard
All your kings and your queens can't win
When they have all the aces under their skin
And just for kicks, they take you for a spin
Before the real games truly begin
We feed the machines as we roll the dice
Heartless and mean and cold as ice
Cold as ice
Money makers, hateful fakers
Greedy wolfs who run the pack
Human breakers, lifeless Quakers
The monkey on our backs, oh
Evil takers, God forsakers
The monkey on our backs
No way to win
Oh, no

Money makers, hateful fakers
Greedy wolfs who run the pack
Human breakers, lifeless Quakers
The monkey on our backs, oh
Evil takers, God forsakers
Play us fools, outside the tracks
Like dictators, war creators
The monkey on our backs
"By seven o'clock tonight
We'll be out of the country
And you'll never see us again"
"Program terminated"
