The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy

Nuclear satellites 
Thrown up in space 
Will all burn out some day
Guess where they'll crash 


We've been lucky so far 
Every toy up there is another chernobyl 
Waiting to happen 


Why? 


Space shuttle blew up again 
People drop dead 
News says "don't worry" 
Then the truth comes out 


Since 1988 
Every shuttle in space 
Has carried 46 
Pounds of plutonium 


Why? 
I don't know 
I'm scared to care 


Enough plutonium 
That if it blows 
The fallout cancer 
Could kill 5 billion people 


So now it's over 
It's really over 
Space junk in the street 
Irradiated atmosphere 


Fallout covers the earth 
Greenhouse so hot we fry 
Six months, maybe years 
We all know we'll die 


So - what matters now? 
Nothing matters now 
Imagine what would happen 
If everyone on earth 
Realized this at once 


Gonna go loot stores! 
Piss anywhere! 
Break into peoples houses 
Play with their underwear 


Strew all my prizes in the street 
You can't take it with you 
Nothing left to do 
But go home 
And bolt the doors 


Why? 


Let's curl up real close 
And tell each other 
All the things we still don't know 
About our lives 


Why? 


Falling space junk in the streets 
Radiation in the air 
Nothing left that's safe to eat 
The sky is melting 
And I want my mommy
