Lyrics

Thrashin'

Molested

Protested

Arrested

And the missile business booms

On all the mother's hemispheres

Fail-safe, DEFCON

Missiles set to cruise

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

Thrashin'

Mashin'

Cashin' on the groove

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

Short range deployment

It promotes

Long range unenjoyment

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

And the missile business booms

On all the mother's hemispheres

Thrashin'

Mashin'

Never gonna blow a groove

Take cover in the groove

We'll be thrashin' on you

BOOM SHAKE LA KA LA KA BOOM BOOM

SHAKE LA KA LA KA BOOM BOOM BOOM

Thrashin'

Mashin'

Cashin' on the groove

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

Short range deployment

Oh yes, it promotes

Long range unenjoyment

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

We'll be thrashin' on you

Thrash, thrash, thrash

Thrash, thrash, thrash

We'll be thrashin' on you

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

And the missile business booms

On all the mother’s hemispheres

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

We'll be thrashin' on you

Molested

Invested

Protested

Ingested

Arrested

And the missile business mushrooms

On all the mother’s hemispheres

Short range deployment

It promotes

Long range unenjoyment

Take no prisoners, show no mercy

Oh, no!

Thrashin'

Mashin'

Cashin' on the groove

Never gonna blow a groove

And the missile business booms

On all the mother’s hemispheres

Say "Boom!"

Boom!

Cashin' on the groove

Never gonna blow a groove

Take cover in the groove

There's no business

Like Blow business

Like Bomb business

Like BOOM!
