Lyrics

[Verse]
Down in the bunker, the sirens had cried,
Timmy grabbed his toys, tried to shove 'em inside.
Mary Jane’s got her book, she don’t seem to care,
While Ted and Dolores are gaspin' for air.

[Chorus]
Oh, little Timmy keeps the hope alive,
Dreamin' 'bout the world before the fallout arrived.
Singin’ by the lantern where the shadows dance,
Life in the bunker ain't much of a chance.

[Verse 2]
Spam from a can, stale crackers for days,
Timmy tugs on Mama, "Will it always be this way?"
Ted’s got a flask, Dolores wipes her tear,
While Mary Jane hums, tryin' to hide her fear.

[Chorus]
Oh, little Timmy keeps the hope alive,
Dreamin' 'bout the world before the fallout arrived.
Singin’ by the lantern where the shadows dance,
Life in the bunker ain't much of a chance.

[Bridge]
Water runs low and the walls grow thin,
There's talk of the surface and a chance to begin.
But Timmy just paints with his crayon sticks,
Drawing a sun where the fallout won’t stick.

[Verse 3]
The world above, it's a nuclear haze,
But deep down the ground they count on their days.
Mary Jane reads while Dad carves a spoon,
And Timmy dreams big 'neath a pale lit moon.
