Trust but verify (X8)

The very best of Neil Diamond
Sings as the bombs rain down
From the crystal sky

The very best of Neil Diamond
Radio cassette plays on
As the kitchen crushed

Trust but verify (X8)

The very best of Neil Diamond
Hear its cry come through
Concrete rubble mound

Bodies and crates are strewn all around
Still the cassette plays on
Oh sweet Caroline

Trust but verify (X8)

Comedy killer
Follow the leader
Tragedy bringer
Violent thriller

Trust but verify
Just to terrify
Cops identify
Back to lullaby (X2)

Quote (Gruff):
"It's about all these houses being destroyed by jets etc. Someone put a Neil Diamond tape on beforehand, and you can still hear it playing through the rubble."
