[N] [G]
Well, the government's made [F] a [C] document to help prevent [D] [G] embarrassment

And the name of this [F] piece of paper is Protect [D] and Survive
So when the nukes come raining down, it's great to be alive
[G] Well, World War [F] 3 can be such fun if you protect [D] and survive
Protect [G] and Survive
While a nuclear [F] strike can be recognised, it would stand out [D] in the crowd

[G] With independently [F] targeted [C] multiple re [D]-entry vehicles

Protect and [G] Survive
When [F] Armageddon gets underway and the rockets come [D] pouring down
[G] All the bloody politicians [F] who started it [C] will scuttle off [D] underground
And when they finally re-emerge with no life to be found
They [G] can [F] administrate the rubble and they [C] can order each other [D]
around
So when the nukes come raining down, it's great to be alive
[G] Well, World War 3 [F] can be such fun if you protect and [D]
survive
Protect and [G] Survive
How to give us a four minute [C] warning when the rockets are on their [G] way
To give us time to panic [C] and Christians time [D] to pray
So when you hear the sirens going, place your head between your thighs
