lyrics

Orion weep, Orion he moan.
As the world rolled past the tip of his sword.
He said that little rock is bound to explode if they don't get together and learn how to love.

Reuben o Reuben with his head in his hands,
watched the six o'clock news and said I'll be damned.
If I ain't got the muscle then I got the land, gonna build me a bunker way down in the sand.

I'll be waiting for the fallout.
Ratchet down,ratchet down.
I bet they come from north and south.
Got 12 inch steel to keep em' out.

He stocked it with meat ,flour and rice.
plenty of jerky to last his whole life.
As for provisions he had enough
and a case of Ol' Grandad for when things got tough.

He made a withdrawal from his saving account
made the one last payment on that old piece of junk.
The very last words I heard Reuben say,"I'll be the last one standing on that judgment day"

I'll be waiting for the fallout.
Ratchet down. ratchet down.
I bet they come from north and south.
Got 12 inch steel to keep em' out.
