[Verse 1]
Won't hear a sound at Porton Down
The clear liquids keep their silence
Buried underground at Porton Down
The fast form of the final violence

[Verse 2]
Quite right to be worried about the proliferation
Of nuclear bombs and power stations
But there's a deterrent that's going to
Unearth us yet...

[Verse 3]
Hurry on round about Porton Down
A quick glimpse of the future warfare
Hidden underground at Porton Down;
Far too frightening to utter what you saw there

[Verse 4]
They got bacteria to drop us where we stand
They got diseases still unknown to man
They got the virus and a microgram's enough
To do in a continent

[Bridge]
The ultimate madness
Just one shattered test-tube to wipe out the world
[Verse 5]
It begins with the mustard gas
It proceeds to Hiroshima
The culture moves on -
Now it's bacterial, truly insane
Porton Down waits to fever the brain

[Verse 1]
Won't hear a sound at Porton Down
The clear liquids keep their silence
Buried underground at Porton Down
The fast form of the final violence

[Verse 3]
Hurry on round about Porton Down
A quick glimpse of the future warfare
Hidden underground at Porton Down
Far too frightening to say what you saw there

[Outro]
No sound at Porton Down
No sound at Porton Down
No sound from Porton Down
No sound at Porton Down
No sound after Porton Down
