When I woke up this morning
I never thought that my life would end this way
The radio gave out a warning
And don't you know I believe every word they say
Scientists observed explosions
Headied for us from a million miles away
Ain't it funny how this life can seem
Stranger than science-fiction

War, it's the war of the worlds

The president alerts the nation
He needs us now more than ever to remain
Faithful to the administration
And when I'm scared I'll believe anything they say
Metal monsters with a heat ray
Fellow patriots are bursting into flames
Ain't it funny how this life can seem
Stranger than science-fiction

War, it's the war of the worlds

Metal monsters with a heat ray
Fellow patriots are bursting into flames
Ain't it funny how this life can seem
Stranger than science-fiction

War, it's the war of the worlds
