He burst on the scene in a craze of glory The turbulent tail to a half told story See him playing doctor with the mud and spittle He's tearing the damned town right up the middle He's the Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age Down at the strip joint where the sinners move Tell me man, do you disapprove? All the girls there say his love is the best He's not impressed with the bottoms and breasts He's the Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age Pick up the whip Get a good grip The terror of the temple One more trip Their hearts drip trouble His blood boils like the sea So, are you taking the ship Or just walking? Some clean love come a tumbling down Cracked its head on the cold ground Didn't even have a home here to cry to Talk about tears, I said, "well here's my two" Coming on Like a mad cop Like a sharecropper With a cane chopper He's the Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age The Christ of the nuclear age
