Greener Pastures (I Hear Chernobyl Is Nice This Time of Year)

from 2600 AD: And Other Astonishing Tales by Mississippi Bones

/

lyrics

This world has just grown so fast paced
It's truly the human race.
I think it's time for me at least to move on to greener pastures.
We can slow down, and find ourselves.
The only date is right now.
Time will make no difference.
Oh the grass is always greener on the other side.
Good God, on the other side. Come on.
It will be a nice vacation.
We’ll soak in radiation.
It’ll give us super powers; at least that's the expectation.
Oh, the grass will be so green on the other side.
We’ll build a house beside a pond and go fishing all day long.
We’ll catch ourselves a catfish weighing 300lbs.
Then batter dip, season with lime, and have ourselves a fish fry.
An ale for you, a stout for me
Oh the grass will be so green on that other side.
Good God, on the other side. Come on.
We can use our super powers
To build ourselves a tower
And defend this paradise that we’ve claimed as ours.
Oh, the grass will be so green on the other side.
We’ll use our psychic powers to converse with the wolves.
We’ll ride them into battle like orcs on top of wargs.
With gnashing teeth and flaming swords
We’ll ride across the land just like the khans of old singing:
Oh Chernobyl!!! The birthplace of our mutant race.
Oh Chernobyl!!! The old ways will be laid to waste.
The ground will be stained red with the blood of our enemies.
The few that are left remaining will cower at our feet.
All will kneel down before us.
This crumbling world will become our paradise singing:
Oh Chernobyl!!! The birthplace of our mutant race.
Oh Chernobyl!!! The old ways will be laid to waste.
Oh Chernobyl!!! Bear witness to mankind’s fate.
Oh Chernobyl!!! Radiate and retaliate.
