Comrade, – there has been an accident at Chernobyl
The Iron Curtain has melted, –radiation in the skies
Here are your vodka rations and iodide pills – make us proud
Drunken sons of the Motherland..
Holding atoms in our hands
Bones snap like rubber bands
Stop crying, Pick up a shovel, Be a man!
Comrade, – don't stay out on that roof too long
The radiation's gonna burn right through you
I'll send a telegram back to Moscow
What do you want it to say?
"Tell my wife and my kids that I love them
and that I saved the day!"
Reactor 4 went critical
Red flashing lights, water in the pipes..
Reactor 4 went critical
Red flashing lights, time to say – Goodnight..
Comrade, you have succeeded in your mission
Chernobyl has been liquidated
However, our Geiger counters were not of sufficient strength to detect the large amounts of radiation you have been exposed to during your honorable service to the Motherland
Now, let me lift these lead sheets and give you some vodka
The atom has given up and now so must you..
Reactor four went critical
Red flashing lights, water in the pipes
Reactor four went critical
Fire in the sky
– Goodbye..
