If anybody hears me now
This is coming from way underground
From a bunker in the plains of the middle west
I guess you know by now
Things got out of hand somehow
Duck and cover did not pass the test

I did the job they gave to me
Punched in the codes, turned the key
You could feel the rumble all the way down to your bones
I don't know where mine were aimed
You never know that kind of thing
But east of the jordan river no one answers the phone

And what we did
We did because god told us to
What it cost was everything we had
If you're hearing the sound of my voice
Believe me they left us no choice
I'm just missing the sound of the children I'll never have
I'll never have

They must've had some warning there
They got the cabinet in the air
You never saw old men movin' so fast
I guess they're still in charge
They're still the palace guard
At least until the plane runs out of gas

(Repeat refrain)

We did what we did, did what we did
Cause god told us to
We did what we did, did what we did
Cause he loves you
Salvation is waiting - most of you are already there
Salvation is waiting - most of you are already there
What we did
