I hate you! I hate you!
Nothing will ever be the same
Oh, really? Don’t be silly!
I told you it was all a game
Whenever I see you or your work
it makes me feel like spitting
What’s that noise?
Oh that, we’ve been expecting it for ages
It’s the sound of the atom splitting

He’s a villain, him over there with the stocking on his head
Look, there’s another, they call themselves ‘pinheads’
What’s that noise over there?
Is it corrugated iron they’re hitting?
No, no, it’s perfectly normal
It’s just the sound of the atom splitting
