[Intro]
We'll be safe inside
When they drop these bombs
The government don't lie
So we can trust these Vaults

[Verse 1]
Let's go back to the beginning of the story
Twenty seventy seven, and everything's hunky dory
Woke up in the morning, shaved off my goatee
My wife is looking at me, "Cute nose" is what she told me
Kissed her on the cheek, she's grins, I love that old smile
Waltz across the bathroom, barefoot on the cold tile
Walk into the back room, take a look at my own child
Look into Shawn's eyes, started spinning the mobile
I started thinking: "Oh my! That lad is fancy!"
Going into the kitchen, maybe grab a glass of brandy
And I see my floating robotic companion Mister Handy
Levitating next to some sugarbombs, sweeter than candy
Someone's at the door, and my wife implores that I answer it
He won't talk to my wife as if the man is the management
Apparently he's demanding a man for it
I can just hear him now, probably gonna be reading from the manuscript like

[Chorus]
War, war never changes
You'll need to start making proper arrangements
The world as we know there is too dangerous
So run for the Vault! Run for the Vault!
War, war never changes
You'll need to start making proper arrangements
The world as we know there is too dangerous
So run for the Vault! Run for the Vault!
[Verse 2]
"Good morning! Vault-Tec calling!"
Oh yeah, it's those underground shelters in case of the bombings
This guy is telling me that I'm a pre-selected veteran
Eligible for entrance into Vault One Eleven
So I sign the paperwork and send him on his way
Bout to sit on the couch, and enjoy the rest of my day
But then all of the sudden, the news anchor gets nervous
Reports of bombs all being detonated on purpose
In New York and Pennsylvania, the situation worsens
We need to get to the Vault, we need to get under the surface
Just leave all these possessions, these freaking trinkets are worthless
And go and grab Shawn and get outside or it's curtains
Look, I know the danger is kind of hard to interpret
But you hear those sirens! It's about to be hot as a furnace
Sanctuary Hills was my home and I will miss it
Now we running over bridges and we jumping over trenches
I can see a trail leading up to a fence in the distance
Where a man is insistent on entrance, but there is resistance
Vault-Tec security guard with Power Armor, it's
Insane what's going on, but please sir, my family's on the list
It's a miracle, planets must've aligned my fate
But what's going to happen to the people standing outside the gate
My wife is running too, I'm hoping baby Shawn is calm
We gotta make it to that platform before they drop the bomb
[Chorus]
War, war never changes
So now I'm down here with all these strangers
The world as we knew there was too dangerous
I had to run for the Vault! Run for the Vault!
War, war never changes
So now I'm down here with all these strangers
The world as we knew there was too dangerous
I had to run for the Vault! Run for the Vault!

[Outro]
We'll be safe inside when they drop these bombs
The government don't lie, so we can trust these Vaults
Gotta depressurize, so climb inside these pods
We gonna be alright, we're safe inside these walls
We'll be safe inside when they drop these bombs
The government don't lie, so we can trust these Vaults
Gotta depressurize, so climb inside these pods
We gonna be alright, we're safe inside these walls
