Lyrics

[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 bacteria to drop us where we stand They got diseases still unknown to man They got the virus and a microgram's enough To do in a continent [Bridge] The ultimate madness Just one shattered test-tube to wipe out the world [Verse 5] It begins with the mustard gas It proceeds to Hiroshima The culture moves on - Now it's bacterial, truly insane Porton Down waits to fever the brain [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 3] Hurry on round about Porton Down A quick glimpse of the future warfare Hidden underground at Porton Down Far too frightening to say what you saw there [Outro] No sound at Porton Down No sound at Porton Down No sound from Porton Down No sound at Porton Down No sound after Porton Down
