Birth Control Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't Leave Your Home Tonight
Don't Let Your Neighbour In Just Barricade Your Door
Close Your Windows Tight
And Put The Children Right Down On The Floor
ABC-Alarm
Aberration In The NATO Air Traffic Control
Soldiers To Your Arms!
The Situation's Gettin' Worse Now We've Been Told
The Damage Is Done My Friend, Your Life Has An Open End
The Damage Is Done My Friend
No Chance At All To Keep The Dawn Away
Yeah, To Keep The Dawn Away
Get Ready Boys, Get Ready Girls
We're On A One-Way Street To Hell
Get Ready Boys, Get Ready Girls
The Day Of Doom Is Coming Any Day, To You
You Got To Hold The Line
We Will Inform You Of Developments In Time
Have A Glass Of Wine
Do What You Like To Find Peace Of Mind
The Battle Axe Of War
Has Not Proven She Command Will Play For Time
We Ain't Got No News
There's Always Pandemonium On The Line
The Damage Is Done My Friend, Your Life Has An Open End
The Damage Is Done My Friend
No Chance At All To Keep The Dawn Away
Yeah, To Keep The Dawn Away
Get Ready Boys, Get Ready Girls
We're On A One-Way Street To Hell
Get Ready Boys, Get Ready Girls
The Day Of Doom Is Coming Any Day, To You
Explosion Here, Explosion There
Just Hatred In The Atmosphere
No Chance At All To Get Away
Tomorrow Is No Other Day
The Pope Just Emigrates To Mars
His Blessing Hand Now Wears A Cast
The President Is Playing Chess
He's Eating More And Talking Less
The Firmament Is Filled With Fog
And Who Dies First Me Or My Dog




No Chance At All To Get Away
Heeey, The Day Of Doom Is Coming

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Birth Control's song "The Day of Doom Is Coming" speak of impending doom and chaos. The urgent tone of the song indicates that something disastrous is about to happen and the singer urges the listener to take action to protect themselves and their loved ones. The song begins with a warning not to leave the house tonight and to lock the doors and windows tight. It then mentions an ABC-alarm, which is an air-raid siren used in Germany during the Cold War. The song speaks of soldiers arming themselves and the situation getting worse by the moment. The damage is already done and there is no way of stopping the dawn from coming - an allusion to the inevitable catastrophe. The singer urges everyone to prepare and to hold the line, promising to keep them informed of any developments. He reassures them that they can find peace of mind by doing what they like, such as having a glass of wine.


The second half of the song takes a more despairing turn. The lyrics describe a world filled with explosions and hatred, where there is no chance of escape. The Pope has emigrated to Mars and the President is playing chess while eating more and talking less. The firmament is filled with fog and no one knows who will die first, them or their dog. The song ends with the repeated warning that the day of doom is coming.
