I live in the world of Fallout
Not in the one after the bombs
Not in the radioactive wasteland

I live in the world of Fallout
Before we have to crawl out
Of the ruin and the rubble

I live in shiny Fallout world
The world of shiny cars
Of shiny imaginary futures

My Fallout world is rusty
At the edges of the carousel.
Bumper cars careen to collide.

The fun has dribbled out
As the truth has dribbled in.
The fallout is inevitable.
