Yangoon Calling

Lyrics

Yangon calling
to the imitation zone.
Forget it brother,
you can go it alone!

Yangon calling
to the zombies of death.
Quit holding out
and draw another breath.

Yangon calling
and I don't want to shout.
But when we were talking ,
I saw you nodding out.

Yangon calling
see we ain't got no high.
Except for that one
with the yellowy eye.

The ice age is coming,
the sun is zooming in.
Engines stop running,
the wheat is growing thin.

A nuclear era,
but I have no fear
'cause Yangon is drowning,
and I, I live by the river!

The ice age is coming,
the sun is zooming in.
Engines stop running,
the wheat is growing thin.

A nuclear era,
but I have no fear
'cause Yangon is drowning,
and I, I live by the river!

Now get this:

Yangon calling,
yes, I was there, too!
And you know what they said?
Well, some of it was true!

Yangon calling
at the top of the dial.
And after all this,
won't you give me a smile?

Yangon calling!
