[verse 1] On the TV we heard the sound And we’d all gather round The carpet was orange shag But back in the day - that was rad (So fuckin' rad!) The roar, tiny speakers, hissin’ finally let the carnage begin It was godzilla, the atomic king Raging across my television screen (My TV screen!) [verse 2] Nine is an impressionable age from that day I have been crazed T-shirts, mugs, an' shot glasses Teeth flashin' as he goes Oh, godzilla, atomic king Crashin', trashin' everything There was no way to know The reason behind the show No idea what you really meant [verse 3] Each step signals the death Of hundreds of thousands Of innocent civilians Each roar the echo of pain (Echo of pain!) But how was I to know It was just a TV show You weren't really smashing Smashing the whole thing down (into the ground!) [verse 4] Knowing now is joy’s theft There's no innocence left But those scars were real I don’t see how those wounds heal [outro] Clench your fists, in rage Godzilla (smash) no more golden gate Godzilla (smash) time to face your fate Smash the whole thing down Clench your fists, in rage Godzilla (smash) make them into paste Godzilla (smash) end the human race Passin' through 'Frisco town
