G*   Hold G and then change chord [Intro]     x3 [Verse 1] They said protect and you’ll survive- (but our postman didn’t call) 8 lbs. of over-pressure wave seemed to glue him to the wall They said protect and you’ll survive [Verse 2] E.M.P. took out the radio (and our milk-man didn’t call) Flash blinded by the pretty lights didn’t see his bottles fall Or feel the warm black rain arrive [Instrumental]     x2 [Verse 3] Big friendly cloud builds in the West (and our dust-men haven’t called) They left a dual carriageway at a hundred miles an hour- A tail wind chasing them away    [Verse 4] And in deep shelters lurk below sub-regional control Who sympathise but cannot help To mend your body or your soul Self-appointed guardians of the race with egg upon their face When steady sirens sing all-clear they pop up find nobody here [Verse 5] And so I watch two new suns spin (our paper man doesn’t call) Burnt shadow printed on the road now there’s nothing there at all They said: "Protect and you’ll survive" [Outro] (Fade)
