Missing link crouched upon a promontory rock
Tryin to figure out his biological clock.
No one around to announce his arrival
So he s got to get to work on his sense of survival
Oh Ohit s a dangerous world.

Over in China they got smart real fast
That s where they invented the man made blast.
They lost a few infers and some bamboo shacks
But they gave birth to a tribe of pyromaniacs.

Oh ohit s a dangerous world.
Fire in the skylava in the ocean
Sittin round waitin for the next explosion

Back in the fifties they thought it made good sense
To teach all the school children about civil defense.
Don t be scareddo not cry
Just dive under your desk and kiss your ass goodbye.

Oh ohsuch a dangerous world.
It was a hell of a hustleparanoia promotion
Waiting at ground zerofor the next explosion.

Where you gonna be
When it hits the fan
Got a plan
What you gonna do
If it lands on you
Where s your point of view.

Down at the beach club there s a sales convention
Night sky is the focus of that crowd s attention.
It s no cosmic collision just a fireworks show
But they feel it in their hearts when those
Concussion bombs blow.

Oh ohsuch a dangerous world
Gunpowder s louder than Newton s laws of motion.
Everybody s waitin for the next explosion.

Firs in the skyfallin on the ocean
Sittin round waitin for the next explosion.
