Sweet child of mine, You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L Nobody's on your level This freedom trail you're walking is A long road to your apocalypse (Welcome to my apocalypse) That's the sound of our fate About to go off so get out of its wake Pull your Power Armor out of its case All the hours I've waited, been countin' the days I finally found my way out of this cage Now look at the town, to the ground it was razed Boston, I'm back, but I doubt you're the same Nuclear mutants fall out of my way I'm covered in blood, showered in waste Mushroom clouds came down like the rain I'll empty my rounds right out of the chamber Cuz when I go down I'll go down with a bang How many gangs are down to be slain? I'll make you my slaves - bound in these chains All of these cowards are shouting my name As I rise from the ground and come out of the grave I'm all that remains Guess I'm a legend But when I was steppin' out vault 111 I barely remembered the way that I left it I never expected a seperate dimension Survival's a lesson That's why I'm profession The bible I'm living by is my weapon I customize every kind that I'm gettin' Already in hell, got no time for confession We'll set sail for redemption Constitution - we'll defend it And if blood is spilt on bunker hill The fires of war will cleanse it All on my own, so many of them No wonder why I'm addicted to chems Friends that I've lost - I'll never forget Now kick up the action - give me some jet I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire I only wanna tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Grab a Nuke Cola for the caps, man Where the sugar bombs? Let me at them I got no shame looting trash cans Make a bigger mess than a fatman Gotta get rid of my rads, shit Terminal hacked - granted access Shooting more rats just for practice If you got scrap, let me have it Cuz I'm building a shelter A place I can settle A roof on my head and a bed is essential Like hell you can get on my level Don't ever forget that they said that I was S.P.E.C.I.A.L Next stop, You can get off On the subway where the dead walk If you've been detected by a deathclaw: V.A.T.S. on - HEADSHOT No sweat, threat gone Just another target to check off Generation running and defense on Even better than any Protectron I'm the wanderer you put bets on No strikeouts - got the best luck Every blood bug's gonna get swatted Knock 'em outta the park - Red Sox! Head to Fenway - you can catch one Yankees? Come and get some! I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire I only wanna tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse My love is radiating Come feel this warmth of mine These open arms are waiting Take you away in the sky Could this all be a dream? This ain't the Boston I wanted to be All of these Vaults are not what they seem Meant to protect us they kept us from seeing I'll know that I'll get to the bottom though I pass every test, like I am called the G.O.A.T Got a lot of knowledge after all I've read Screw the Jumpsuit, I'm not a bobblehead It's a wasteland but it's got perk Like my robotic butler Codsworth Help me out when I'm over-encumbered "That's a fine dog that you've got sir!" Downtown Boston a massacre On the food chain we're just scavengers Got the Yao Guai makin' matters worse Black bears with radioactive fur Check my Pip-Boy, got the best stats Hit you with a missile when I'm in V.A.T.S Nice Airship, I won't miss that The percentage says that I can hit that I'm just as fly with my jetpack Now revere me - time to kiss ass That's right raiders - better get back I'll go through you quicker than a stimpack Welcome to America Full of radiant places Not the land of the free Where the home of the slave is I pray that my children Get the world I was raised in I know things ain't the same But war never changes I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire I only wanna tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse Welcome to my apocalypse

They grew up there on the river, down on the riverside. Muskrat roast for Sunday dinner, everybody's satisfied. Those two kids never could be parted, running round side by side. Young love, so open hearted, and a river so deep and wide. Floating on a raft in the thick of summer, fishing with a toe-tied line. Raised by the river raised by the running weather of water and time. A flash-flood came with a hammer of thunder out of a clear blue sky. Took away one and left the other, down by the riverside. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay. Now there's a poor lost soul abandoned down on the riverside, Sitting there just watching the water, never be satisfied. Waiting for the floods of summer, praying to be taken away, Back into the arms of the other, longing for yesterday. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay. But why so cruel a heartbreak? And why such a twisted fate? One called back to their maker, one must stay.
