lyrics

We are in the club, chasing after love
Chasing after shots of liquor
Dancing up a storm, sweating in the warm
Oven loving every minute
We don't even know yet, know yet
Cold sweat on his forehead

Sitting in the shelter, drinking alka-seltzer
What a relief it is
You'd swear it was the 60s, they're all in their sixties
They've seen the death of their best years
They don't even know yet, know yet
Until he speaks, he says

Ladies and gentlemen, the world is infected
Projections are worse than expected
We have an injection to stall the progression
So we can all get re-elected
But the method is ethically dubious
Remember Vesuvius? Well, that's what it's like
A few thousand tons of soot in the sky
And the sun can't get through quite as bright

We don't have to change what we're doing
We don't have to hurt anyone
We've already started the seeding, I need
Your okay to proceed with phase one
We don't have to change what we're doing
We don't have to hurt anyone
We've already started the seeding, I need
Your okay to proceed with phase one

It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
How about a nuclear winter?
How about a nuclear winter?

It's hard to remember in hot summer clubs
Normal people are so risk averse
Parties get crazy and memories hazy
But they wouldn't mess with the Earth
They don't even know yet, know yet
We met in the back by the TV set

He said I don't like to drink
It makes me want such normal things
I don't like to drink
I want such normal things
Can't keep my distance, can't make decisions
They look so happy, let's keep them dancing

We don't have to change what we're doing
We don't have to hurt anyone
We've already started the seeding
The plan is proceeding it's already done
We don't have to change what we're doing
We don't have to hurt anyone
We've already started the seeding
The plan is proceeding it's already done

It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
How about a nuclear winter?
How about a nuclear winter?

It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
It's been a hot summer
How about a nuclear winter?
How about a nuclear winter?
How about a nuclear winter?
