He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream, bug-eyed, as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go, go, Godzilla (yeah)
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go, go, Godzilla (yeah)
Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go, go, Godzilla (yeah)
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go, go, Godzilla (yeah)
Godzilla!
臨時ニュースを申し上げます

ゴジラが銀座方面に向かっています
大至急避難してください

Oh, no, they say he's got to go
Go, go, Godzilla (yeah)
Oh, no, there goes Tokyo
Go, go, Godzilla (yeah)
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of man
Godzilla!
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of man
Godzilla!
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of man
Godzilla!
History shows again and again
How nature points out the folly of man
Godzilla!
The song "Giant Robot / Machines in the Modern City / Godzilla" by Praxis is about the iconic Japanese monster, Godzilla. The lyrics describe the terror he brings to the city, as he destroys buildings and throws buses, with helpless people screaming and running for their lives. The song begins with a powerful image of Godzilla tearing down high-tension wires, setting the tone for the destruction that is to come.
The song also features a news announcement warning the residents of Tokyo to evacuate immediately as Godzilla heads towards the city center. The repeated refrain of "Go, go, Godzilla" serves as a rallying cry for those trying to escape his path of destruction.
The song's message is clear - it highlights the destructive power of nature and how it can easily overshadow human achievements, pointing out the folly of man's attempts to control it. The lyrics urge listeners to acknowledge the destructive forces of nature and to take responsibility to protect the planet and its inhabitants.

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
With an intentional scowl and a deafening roar
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down
He tears down the electric cables with sparks flying
