Verse 1:
D
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
A
there's music in the air,
the sleigh bells are ringin' and the carolers are singin'
D
While the air-raid sirens blare
Verse 2:
It's Christmas at Ground Zero
The button has been pressed
The radio just let us know
That "This is not a test..."
Bridge:
G
Everywhere the atom-bombs are droppin'
It's the end of all humanity
A
No more time for last-minute shoppin'
B A
It's time to face your final destiny
Verse 3:
Well, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
There's panic in the crowd
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath a mushroom cloud
