Текст песни: Joe the Paranoiac + перевод

Come let me tell you about my friend Joe

He spends all day sitting by the radio

Tell him to come out but he won’t go

He only waiting for the bomb to blow

He said some weapons missing and they don’t know where

They went and one of them might be nuclear

And unconfirmed reports have confirmed his fears

That today is the day something go happen here

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling

You hear the sirens sing

Run for cover the walls are tumbling

Dong-a-long, dong-a-long

Shout it round the town

The ground is shaking and the sky is falling down

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling

You hear the sirens sing

Run for cover the walls are tumbling

Dong-a-long, dong-a-long

Shout it around

The ground is shaking and the sky is falling down

They have a satellite watching above his head

A next camera set up by his bed

When he talks on the phone they know what he said

You feel all this would have the man upset

But he says this he happily endures

Because nothing else will help him sleep secure

And the whole while he feeling reassured

I feel that Joe is mistaking the disease for the cure

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling

You hear the sirens sing

Run for cover the walls are tumbling

Dong-a-long, dong-a-long

Shout it round the town

The ground is shaking and the sky is falling down

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling

You hear the sirens sing

Run for cover the walls are tumbling

Dong-a-long, dong-a-long

Shout it around

The ground is shaking and the sky is falling down

You think Joe would have felt a fool

When the bomb he found was just a plumber’s tool

When the noise in the night was the neighbor mule

The training camp he reported was a Sunday school

When the anthrax he took down to the police

Turned out to be an old hunk of mouldy cheese

You think this would put the man mind at ease

But he can smell a dirty bomb in a plate of rice and peas

Joe is sure that his neighbor Samuel

Belongs to a sleeper cell

And when he talks with Ramlogan in the road

He feel he giving orders in a secret code

And if you hesitate them to believe

He will declare you and them to be in league

And from then on watch your tail

Or you might be going Guantanamo on a holiday

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling

You hear the sirens sing

Run for cover the walls are tumbling

Dong-a-long, dong-a-long

Shout it round the town

The ground is shaking and the sky is falling down

Ring-a-ling, ring-a-ling

You hear the sirens sing

Run for cover the walls are tumbling

Dong-a-long, dong-a-long

Shout it around

The ground is shaking and the sky is falling down
