Perhaps Klaus is talking about how the politicians are corrupt, and that we'll all pay - that nobody can escape the destruction. That might be why he talks about getting atomized, turning into french fries, a holocaust, things blowing up, and heat - this is synonymous with a nuclear holocaust, amirite?
When he says "just a slip of your lips and you're gone," I'm wondering if he's trying to describe how delicate the Cold War was, how a single slip of the lips could have inclined someone to launch their missiles and destroy the world.
