There’s no need for any of you to leave your homes
“It’s only radiation,” was lightly broadcast across the nation
So there are some details that might have slipped our mind
Our sacrifices for you, well they keep us very busy
They say it’s for the common good
Some sacrifices by us all
Oh, yes, we’ve built your house on a chemical dump site
But baby don’t you worry
There’s more people where you came from
Yeah, there’s some details that slipped our mind
Well helping out the public keeps us very busy
They say it’s for the common good
If there are some things we are’t told
We don’t know
Keep churning missiles out, three more each day
Creating our protection for our imminent destruction
Then even if we all die we can still strike back
And even when you’re dead well you’ll know we got the ba*tards
Cause they say it’s for the common good
If we destroy the entire place
Yeah it’s for the common good
If there are some things we aren’t told
They say it’s for the common good
Sacrifices by us all
Like the earth
