Behind The Barrier

In the closing minutes of pre-zone time

With the world hanging over the edge

As the messages flew down the red hot lines

We did the body count in our heads

And the true believers looked on and laughed

As the landscape cracked and bled

Behind the barrier

Well I still don't know how he did it

And I wonder how high it goes

I only know that life goes on

For the lucky ones here in the zone

And the true believers looked on and laughed

Till the last cruise missile had flown

Behind the barrier

And the minutemen stood as we knew they would

And the world went temporarily sane

And the radio said

"My god cover your heads

And get out of the boiling rain"

Get behind the barrier

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Behind the barrier

And the minutemen stood as we knew they would

And the world went temporarily sane

And the radio said

"My god cover your heads

And get out of the boiling rain"

And the true believers looked on and laughed

Till the last cruise missile had flown

And life goes on for the lucky ones

Out here in the zone

Behind the barrier

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

Behind the barrier
