Who's in the bunker? Who's in the bunker?
Women and children first, and the children first, and the children
I'll laugh until my head comes off
I'll swallow 'til I burst
Until I burst, until I

Who's in the bunker? Who's in the bunker?
I have seen too much, I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first, and children first, and children

Here I'm alive
Everything all of the time
Here I'm alive
Everything all of the time

Ice age coming, ice age coming
Let me hear both sides, let me hear both sides, let me hear both
Ice age coming, ice age coming
Throw it in the fire, throw it in the fire, throw him on the
We're not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
We're not scaremongering

Take the money and run, take the money and run, take the money

Here I'm alive (-n first, and children)
Everything all of the time (-n first, and children)

Yhorn(sp?) has talked about global warming at live performances and in interviews, and is very concerned. somewhere hidden in the kid a booklet, or perhaps only on certain kid a booklets, there was supposed to be a list of places where polar ice was melting. this helps to explain: We're not scaremongering This is really happening Happening We're not scaremongering This is really happening Happening Mobiles skwrking Mobiles chirping Take the money run Take the money run Take the money we're not scaremongering, this is really happening. that seems pretty straightforward to me, towards all the gw deniers. statements about the mobiles, i don't think i even need to say anything about that. and take the money and run, well look how much money is being made by these oil companies.
