The Bell
There's a fallout shelter
in my mind
Where I can go when danger is near
You can say whatever you want
I won't hear you
My head is much too big
My skull too thick
To penetrate my sanctuary from debate
'till I get sick of being alone
And pick up my red phone,
to call the truce
but what's the use?
It's a cold war era
And we're not any nearer
to forgetting the warnings we've heard
do you think it's absurd
to crouch beneath your desk in school when the sirens blow?
I feel like a fool, 'cause I never know,
if this one is real
they say it's a drill, but still
I guess they always will
The plane that went by was a Russian spy
It makes you feel so short and thin
Windows explode into the room
And the shards of glass are like bullets in your skin
"Alright now class
Get back to work
You've learned your lesson well,
Don't move until you hear,
the bell."
