One Small Step Lyrics - Stereolab

From the sky would fall an incessant rain of bombs 

We had nowhere to go but retreat underground 

Our ground had been peppered with loads of mines 

Growing our food was a risk at any time 

The sudden brutality we had to confront 

Forced us many years to a life into the ground 

When I came out after having hidden for so long under 

I found, I was missing all sensation of sight 

It was so dark underground we had seen no light for days 

What was visible how there was the enemy 

The fact that they were fighting against their better nature 

Our voices had been buried to 

For we had not to speak a word for days on end 

But what we learned was so strong 

They could never win, they're wrong 

Scared of Adolf, the right to kill 

They went nowhere, had no wisdom 

Humiliation came back, flying into their face 

They lost themselves, the right to kill 

Scared of Adolf, right to be blind, nothing but trust
