Megadeth - Set the World Afire lyrics

I don't want to set the world on fire

Red flash, clouds choking out the morning sky
They said it'd never come
We knew it was a lie
All forms of life die now
The humans all succumb
Time to kiss your ass goodbye
The end has just begun

Distorted figures walk the street, it's 1999
Weeds once underneath your feet
Have grown to vines
Bodies melted like a candle
A land without a face
No time to change your fate, no time left
It's too late

The arsenal of megadeath can't
Be rid they said and if it comes
The living will envy the dead
Racing for power, and all come in last
No winning, first stone cast
This falsehood, worldly peace
Its treaties soon will cease
No one will be left to
Prove that humans existed
Maybe soon the children will
Be born open-fisted
We all live on one planet it
Will all go up in smoke

Too bad they couldn't see this lethal energy
And now the final scene, a global darkening

Dig deep, piles of rubble and ruins
Towering overhead both far and wide
There's unknown tools for World War I I I
Einstein said "We'll use rocks
On the other side" no survivors!
Set the world afire!

No survivors, set the world afire!
