N.O.R.A.D. (Doomsday City) Lyrics
Light, missile coming, sun is dawning
Early warning, flash of a light in the sky
A long black cavern, Cheyenne Mountain
Minutes counting, warning to keep you alive
Fade out! One of the names for killing the masses
Fade out! It's your fault
Fade out! Extreme in demise, we can't take a chance
Fade out! It's your fault
Look at the world through the eyes of NORAD
Look at the world through the eyes of NORAD
Wait, before reason, now the season
Changes to the coldest of all in the fall
There, down below, that they were told to
Take a loaded gun to be held at the head
Fade out! You cannot be saved so blow up the world
Fade out like Defcom
Fade out! We must be insane it's really a drill
Fade out like Defcom
(A sycophant is not what you think
I feel helpless and practically double dictated)
Look at the world through the eyes of NORAD
Look at the world through the eyes of NORAD
Look what you've done to the world
Early warning, flash of a light in the sky
A long black cavern, Cheyenne Mountain
Minutes counting, warning to keep you alive
Fade out! It's your fault
Fade out! Extreme in demise, we can't take a chance
Fade out! It's your fault
Look at the world through the eyes of NORAD
Changes to the coldest of all in the fall
There, down below, that they were told to
Take a loaded gun to be held at the head
Fade out like Defcom
Fade out! We must be insane it's really a drill
Fade out like Defcom
I feel helpless and practically double dictated)
Look at the world through the eyes of NORAD
Look at the world through the eyes of NORAD

Burke Shelley states that it's a reference to a USA defense system, NORAD, which was founded on May 12, 1958. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), formally known as the North American Air Defense Command, is a joint organization between the United States and Canada that protects North America. A section of the song further lists the different code words NORAD use when they go through all the stages of nuclear alert before the button is pressed. "So it's definitely not a love song."
NORAD's main mission is to detect, validate, and warn of threats to North America, including aircraft, missiles, and space vehicles. NORAD also provides aerospace control and maritime warning.
