1. NUCLEAR ATTACK

No, no, no.

Out on the streets they're all living in fear.
You can hear their hearts pound as the moment draws near.
One push of a button is all it would take
To dress the world in black.
One fault in the system, a fatal mistake
And you never come back from a nuclear attack.

The Russians are ready, the U.S. is armed.
They try and tell us there's no cause for alarm.
If you think you can live like a rat in a sewer
Might stand a chance to stay alive.
No one can say, no one knows for sure
Just who will survive a nuclear attack.

You ain't never coming back, no
From a nuclear attack.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Yeah.
Oh.

Oh, yeah.
Look out.

Out on the streets they're all living in fear.
You can feel their hearts pound as the moment draws near.
You won't know what's hit you, it'll happen so fast
Won't be the time to even scream.
You'll just be burned up by the heat of the blast
A thing of the past in a nuclear attack.

Nuclear attack
You ain't never coming back
Ain't never coming back, no.
No, no, no.
From a nuclear attack, oh.
You ain't never coming back
In a nuclear attack, ah.
Oh, no, no, no.
Ah.


2. RUN TO YOUR MAMA

One, two
One-two-three-four.

You've got to be mean, you've got to be tough
You don't need none of that pity stuff.
You got to be hard or else you'll be done.
You have to take care of number one.
Don't come to me if you're out on the street.
I'll only tell you to get up on your feet.
Don't come to me if you feel you are through
'Cause I don't have the time to listen to you.

Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.
Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.

You've got to be smooth, you've got to be rough
You don't need none of that pity stuff.
You got to be cruel, forget bein' kind
Or else they'll just take it and leave you behind.
Don't come to me if you're down on the ground.
If it's problems you've got I don't need you around.
Don't come to me if your luck is in doubt
'Cause I won't even listen, I'll just kick you out.

Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.
Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.
Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.
Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me, yeah.

Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.
Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.
Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me.
Run to your mama
But don't come crying to me
Yeah, yeah

Run to your mama
Don't you come crying to me.
Run to your mama
Don't you come crying to me.
No, no, no, no.
Run to your mama
But don't you come crying to me, no.


3. DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad.
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel.
When things go wrong, it seems so bad.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems all I do is worry
And then I show my other side.

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I'd never mean to take it out on you.
Life has its problems and I get my share
That's one thing that I never mean to do.
'Cause I love you.

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I'd never mean to take it out on you.
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do.
'Cause I love.

Oh baby, don't you know I'm human
And have thoughts like any other one.
And sometimes I find myself alone
Regrettin' some foolish things that I have done.

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.

'Cause I'm just a soul whose intentions are good.
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood.
No, no, no, misunderstood.
Oh yeah, yeah, don't let me be misunderstood.
Please don't let me be misunderstood.
