The first line agress means to attack first, so the low attack the high may refer to nuclear terrorism. MAD was the acronym for, Mutual Assured Destruction, the main premiss of the NATO alliance. You start a nuclear war we will bury you. Take the M out, and you get Assured Destruction that is each side had more than enough nuclear warheads to end our species 36 times over. The scientist line refers to the massive military budgets to design new weapons of mass destruction the arms race in general, new shiny toys. Half life of nuclear weapons worked out how long to stay in a bunker. Ignore the sirens, many thought that with a nuclear war triggering an endless winter is was best to be at ground zero, the future looking black is the bikini alert code. Black means an unknown threat. Vapourise, at ground zero your death would be painless, body incinerated before your pain receptors could inform your brain, so party while you still can.
