The Neutron Bomber Lyrics

He came from the East, they called him a beast
This king of terror insane
Neutron Ronnie, the people would whisper his name
Dangerous and mad, a torch in his hand
Spread fire by the light of the moon
Ooh, pyrotechnical wizard of doom


Oh no, here comes Ronnie
Ah the boy with the flame
All his life has been burning inside
Oh no no, here comes Ronnie
Ah the bomber's insane
Ah till he dies it'll burn in his eyes


A phantom so cool, at midnight would rule
A molotov cocktail would rain
Babies screamin' and house would go up in flames
When next Ronnie goes nobody knows
But inside him's where Lucifer hides
Ooh, he's the boy with the bombs at his side


Ooh no, here comes Ronnie , Ah the boy with the flame
All his life has been burning inside
Oh no no, here comes Ronnie
Ah the boy with the flames
Ah his life has been burning inside
Oh no no here comes Ronnie
Ah the bomber's insane
As 'till he dies the burning in his eyes

This song was about Ronald Regan. Power mad, certifiably insane. Now we have Neutron Donnie (Donald Trump). Once again we get to live under the threat of global nuclear destruction. I've missed the whole "Eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we may die" attitude of the 80's. ROCK ON!!!

I would think it's about Ronald Reagan.

Not Valid

I thought it was a fun take on a Lockheed B-2 Spirit, giving it a personality.

One of two truly great songs on Headless Children, the other being the mighty Thunderhead. Blackie said this is about Ronald Reagan, but the lyrics sound like they are also generally about a pyromaniac. It sounds like he started with that theme and then injected Reagan into it because Headless Children was meant to delve into topics of the day.
