76%?
Do you think that the world can ever be fixed?
Is America buried? Did it ever exist?
Were you hoping for a life or heavenly bliss
When you stepped out of vault number 76?
Feels like we've waited forever for this
Dust off those chips and selection of dips
Rehydrate those ancient celery sticks
'Cause we're gonna have a party down in 76
Today's a day for celebration
We've been locked away, but we've been making preparations
Sweep away decay and all the waves of devastation
Now we're at the dawning of the day of reclamation
Preservation of the nation
Is a fate we've waited every day in dedication
To build a haven, pave the way for generations
Of what's left of Vault-Tec participation
Deep beneath the wastes of Virginia's
A place where we could have stayed safe for millennia
But tensions get frayed after just a few decades
So we're certain that the surface ought'a be a little friendlier
Shine your shoes, 'cause the hour is at hand for
Joining hand in hand with fellow man to save the land, so
I packed some dandy apples in a satchel with some BlamCo
Stepped out of the gate to meet the neighbours and it's blammo, oh
Do you think that the world could ever be fixed?
Is America buried? Did it ever exist?
Were you hoping for a life of heavenly bliss?
When you stepped out of vault number 76?
Are you lost in awe? Well, you'd better be quick!
Build a hovel from the rubble while the reverie sticks
'Cause you've got to build a heaven using death as the bricks
If you want to have a life out of 76
I don't want to set the world on fire
But your house will do just fine
Got you thinking maybe now's a prudent time
Add some traps to send the rowdy mutants flying
Now, I'm an optimist, but was it a bad decision
To make a mission out of living in a vicious cataclysm?
Sitting in the wilderness and killing for provisions
A vault may have its faults, but all the halls were air-conditioned
Every dweller went from level-headed fella to a villain
So forgive me if it's not what I envisioned
But with citizens selected out of brilliant civilians
I thought that some decorum while exploring was a given
Hi, Joe! How you doing today?
I haven't seen you since the vault barbecue last May!
Alright! Awh, jeez! Okay!
You can keep the carcass, I'll be on my way!
So country road, take me home
To a place that won't irradiate my bones
Hear a silly, little ditty with a playful tone
Transmitting from the middle of the danger zone
Country road, take me there
To a pretty, little crater in the open air
