(Gary Moore)

No, no, no

Out on the streets they're all living in fear
You can hear their hearts pound as the moment draws near
One push of a button is all it would take
to dress the world in black
One fault in the system, a fatal mistake,
and you never come back from a nuclear attack

The Russians are ready, the US is armed
They try and tell us there's no cause for alarm
If you think you can live like a rat in a sewer,
might stand a chance to stay alive
No one can say, no one knows for sure,
just who will survive a nuclear attack

You ain't never coming back, no,
from a nuclear attack
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah
Oh

Oh, yeah
Look out

Out on the streets they're all living in fear
You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near
You won't know what's hit you, it'll happen so fast,
won't be the time to even scream
You'll just be burned up by the heat of the blast,
a thing of the past in a nuclear attack

Nuclear attack,
you ain't never coming back,
ain't never coming back, no
No, no, no
From a nuclear attack, oh
You ain't never coming back
in a nuclear attack, ah
Oh, no, no, no
Ah
