American Childhood Trilogy I: Civil Defense

Sitting in the classroom, a let's go
Looking out the window, watch the hummingbird fly
Mmm mmm
Sitting in the class room, just failed a math test
Hummingbird gone, watch a B-59

Think of that sad sack turtle in the helmet
Bomb goes off and hide your eyes
Think of that sad sack, forget about Jesus
Just couldn't cover when you see the line

Running down Main Street, on my bicycle
One pedal squeaking, not a soul in sight
Eek, eek
Shadows on the wall, they used to be people
Dying on the sidewalk, and see the line
Flash, flash, flash, flash

Think of that sad sack turtle in the helmet
Bomb goes off and hide your eyes
Think of that sad sack, forget about Jesus
Just doesn't cover and you'll be all right

Shadows on the wall, they used to be people
Dying on the sidewalk, and see the line
Flash, flash, flash, flash
