Nu faller natten
Nu faller bomberna
Nu brinner barnen I hekatomberna
Vad ropar barnen, vad glor de på
B-52, B-52
Nu faller regnet
Från blåa skyarna
Nu brinner barnen I de små byarna
Och farmor brinner som en hund av halm
Det är napalm, det är napalm
Nu kommer morgonen
Över ruinerna
Och genast startar man grävmaskinerna
Säg varför är det sånt gråt och skrik
Man räknar lik, man räknar lik
Nu kommer dagen
Den kalla mordiska
Nu brinner barnen, de underjordiska
Men andra leker förmodar jag
I USA, I USA
Nu kommer kvällen
Nu faller natten
Nu faller bomber över land och vatten
Vad har kanonerna att sikta på
B-52, B-52
