This was put together as an anti-nuke song using the Ramones Blitzkrieg bop as a basis and then changing the words into a political narrative but within a Ramones ‘cretin’ style of lyricism.

Chorus:
Hey ho, lets go

Let's stop them in their tracks now
What they want we all know
Excessive power and control
Is my skin receding?
Am I really bleeding?
No awareness and no feeling
At the Blitzkrieg bop
In this world of anguish
Pain is our common language
Into ashes we will vanish
At the Blitzkrieg bop
Hey ho, let's go, hey ho, let's go
Hey Ho, let's go, hey ho, let's go
And we've gone!
