[Verse 1]
Won't hear a sound at Porton Down
The clear liquids keep their silence
Buried underground at Porton Down
The fast form of the final violence
[Verse 2]
Quite right to be worried about the proliferation
Of nuclear bombs and power stations
But there's a deterrent that's going to
Unearth us yet...
[Verse 3]
Hurry on round about Porton Down
A quick glimpse of the future warfare
Hidden underground at Porton Down;
Far too frightening to utter what you saw there
[Verse 4]
They got [?]
They got diseases still unknown to man
They got the virus and a microgram's еnough
To do in a continent
[Bridge]
Well, that's the ultimatе madness
Just one shattered test-tube to wipe out the world
[Verse 5]
It begins with the mustard gas
It proceeds to Hiroshima
And the culture moves on -
Now it's bacterial, and truly insane
Porton Down waits to fever the brain
[Verse 1]
No sound from Porton Down
The clear liquids keep their silence
Hidden underground at Porton Down
The fast form of the final violence
[Verse 3]
Hurry on round about Porton Down
A quick glimpse of the future warfare
Hidden underground at Porton Down;
Far too frightening to what... what you saw there
[Outro]
No sound
No sound
No sound
No sound
No sound from Porton Down
No sound from Porton Down
No sound from Porton Down
No sound after Porton Down
