Lyrics
Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb! Getting sick and tired of the fossil-like system Now or never's the time to resist 'em It's easy to blast 'em all away Pull a trigger, push a button, say ADIOS to today Don't get me wrong, I'm a pacifist The mind can do more than the fist Explosives are NOT what it takes, you know The terrorists always make these mistakes What we gotta do is build momentum If you need the right tools, invent 'em Ride the wave of time! Come feel the rhythm! The march to the future has begun, get with 'em Your brain is the generator of all mighty power Either do it now or your master plan goes sour Yeah, it's all ready to take that fall It's up to you to make that call to drop the bomb! Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb! Let me see that bomb! Learn from the sunken MU, ATLANTIS And from the beheaded male praying mantis The old gotta make room for what's to come What we gotta do is build momentum If you need the right tools, invent 'em Ride the wave of time! Come feel the rhythm! The march to the future has begun, get with 'em Your brain is the generator of all mighty power Either do it now or your master plan goes sour Yeah, it's all ready to take that fall And It's up to you to make that call And if it don't work, make the real thang wipe it out So drop the bomb! Yeah drop the bomb! Just drop the bomb! Let me see you drop that bomb! That bomb! That bomb! That bomb!
