The Day After Lyrics by Return

Attitudes

1988

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Seems like nothing survived the bomb
Have the human race destroyed themselves?
Radioactivity pouring down like rain
The sky's not blue anymore
Will there be life? Tell me
On this earth, anymore

[Verse 2]
In the shadow of the burned tree
There's something you might call alive
The body is in, under an inch of ashes
The eyes of the beast
Burning with a red light
A red light, shining bright
Oh bright

[Verse 3]
But I wanna know
Is it something that God created?
Or was it born, in the radioactive rain?
I don't know
But I've been dreaming
About the future
The final lifetime's just begun

[Bridge]
I know we'll destroy ourselves
Did we really choose it?
Or was it the plan, from the beginning?

[Guitar Solo]
