Hello Dorothy, my old friend
You're in Kansas once again
You went riding on the wild, wild wind
To the Land of Oz you were sent
And while you were gone, we had a nuclear war
The Earth's a scar
Now it's the world of silence

Down ghostly streets you walk alone
You and Toto have no home
Can your slippers make it all okay?
Guess you really should've stayed away
You missed the flash when it all was blown to hell
Who can you tell, here in the world of silence?

Fools were eaten up with hate
Said they had to obliterate
Every single living human soul
Seems to me it was their only goal
Now Dorothy, you'll have to struggle by yourself
There's no one else
Here in the world of silence

Fools just didn't seem to know
Hatred like a cancer grows
And they wouldn't live and let live
And they didn't want to love and give
So you won't hear firecrackers on the 4th of July
The whole world died
Now it's the world of silence

People bowed and people prayed
To some gods that they had made
But those gods didn't have the power
To save anyone when it all went sour
I guess those gods were not gods, after all
Who you gonna call
Here in this world of silence?
