Lyrics

They ripped up all the grass and they cut down all the trees, built a
Fence - little sign says 'keep away, if you please...' and it was
Difficult to argue with the trenches and the guns. 50,000 volts, the
Wires buzzing - touch it and you're d.o.a. (d.c.) deceased! your
Secret's safe with us. the trucks roll in at midnight - skull and
Crossbones on the headlights. they carry poison, carry fission for
The black zone... hear the test-tubes bubble with disease for enemies
(I hope there's not a breeze!) and the villigers line up outside with
Placards, sing 'abide with me'. the guards just laugh - smoke rises
In the distance... because the black zone's here to stay and it's
Here to protect us, 'til that black and bitter day when test-tube
Spills and blows us all away
