lyrics

Pete:
Remember the bright lights? / Remember the frightening sight? / Remember the first dark night the way you feared for your life? / I don't remember the place I was when the president died, but I recall the falling nuclear rain and burned skies / Lucky that I was underneath ground hidden beneath the beat down freaked out listening for some street sounds / The subway shook then stopped I got knocked out / Woke up hours later when I heard a wounded cop shout, / "you o.k.? Well just hold tight then" / He disappeared into the dust I never saw him again / The tunnel was caving in I made my way fumbling through the dark / Trippin' over debris and body parts / Can't start panicking ran up in the toll booth / Tried to call for help but then I learned the cold truth / The phone was dead and so was the attendant but her radio was on and it said New York was gone

(Mike tells it like it is)

Whoa, Nelly! Sorry about the turbulence. If you're just tuning in, you're listening to Radio Free Brooklyn. That big bump you felt is what we in the industry call a "nuclear attack." Looks like Manhattan as well as the Southern portion of the Bronx is gone. Brooklyn sustained considerable damage. Kids, it's safe to say that schools are closed. Stay tuned to Radio Free Brooklyn for more information.


I don't know if we will find our way

Farrah:
I recall moving at a slow pace / My life flashed before my eyes I saw birthdays and the murder rate sky high multiplied by aggression / Then I thought I took my last breath when the Earth moved / Shift my spirit a bit collided with virtues and amendments / Should I drop to my knees, Lord and repent? / Or was I sent to spread the word through these vents we call Radio Free Brooklyn? / While you're at it / Forced to kick habits / Sorry if I'm being too dramatic / Would this be the time to practice black magic? / Or do I need to rest my head on the Craftmatic? / Think of ways to free my people from political bondage political nonsense / I'm sick of arguing about our problems / Now I'm dodging anthrax and suicide bombers instead of walking the steps of our forefathers

I don't know if we will find our way

Blowout:
Paralyzed from the waist down / Look around, every man face down / Nothing makes sound / Strange the way these airplanes went down / Millisecond flashback back to the military combat / Cemetery now with the black clouds covering and hovering about / My body's half out / Struggling, using my arms fumbling, nuclear bomb crumbling due to this harsh government / Fist clenched sixth sense something within distance / Sick stench penetrates my nostrils I pinch them with one hand / Didn't make a difference / I'm done, man / Ninety percent of my body burned without a sun tan / Crawling forward toward something audible / Possible portable audio maybe earphones / Get close to take it off the head that's still cookin' / Only sound I've got in Radio Free Brooklyn

I don't know if we will find our way
