"Radioactive" a Re-Write by MakeShift
48I've always been a huge fan of "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons and wanted to do my first official cover, but I had to play around a little bit. I tried to keep the essence of the song in place while re-writing all the verses in rap, and kept that amazing chorus as is. Is it a cover? Kind of.
Recorded live.

LYRICS!!!
VERSE 1:
Two thousand fifty three
Starving for energy
Manifest destiny
It isn't a mystery
Look back through history
Right there for all to see
Humans from everywhere
Living in misery
Creating a recipe
For disaster
Silence your laughter
Obey your master
Neither your pastor
Or the newscaster
Can stop the world
It only goes faster
Markets will crash or
Simply go dark
For fire to burn
It starts with a spark
Escape the land
And swim with the sharks
When the earth is scorched
We'll have left our mark
Telling our lies
And hiding the truth
Evidently we're
Left with no proof
All of our bullets
Are Under one roof
Our time is finished
it's up to the youth
CHORUS:
I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I’m
Radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I’m
Radioactive, radioactive
VERSE 2:
Tensions are rising
Economies diving
Dark secrets are hiding
We're Barely surviving
And No one's surprised that
they fight the uprising
Their engines are priming
To Stop us from climbing
All the time driving
Us to rebel
They'll drop a bombshell
As we spit and yell
But how can they tell
If we're here to raise hell
Or cut heads off the ones
Who poisoned the well
The ref rings the bell
And knuckles are bit
Missiles are launched
But where will they hit
The hand on the button
Don't give a shit
Collateral damage
Hairs have been split
Fog of war
As we fight alone
Millions of people
Left out on their own
As we fight for power the
plants have been blown
Hot clouds come and
push us out of the zone
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
They dropped the bomb on us
Nuclear fallout plus
Burning white phosphorus 2x
the few that survive
They're sent back in time
Lighting fires at night
Telling stories of when
We all lost the fight
CHORUS
