With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say he's got to go go go Godzilla
Oh no, there goes Tokyo go go Godzilla
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men

But it needs more cowbell.
"Rinji news o moshiagemasu.
Rinji news o moshiagemasu.
Godzilla ga Ginza houmen e mukatte imasu.
Daishikyuu hinan shite kudasai.
Daishikyuu hinan shite kudasai."
Which means quite literally:
"We give you special news.
We give you special news.
Godzilla is turning towards the Ginza district.
As soon as possible take shelter, please.
As soon as possible take shelter, please."
A more English-based translation would render:
"Attention, emergency news!
Attention, emergency news!
Godzilla is going toward the Ginza district!
Find shelter immediately, please!
Find shelter immediately, please!"
Anyways, on one hand, I think both Shadow and Major have hit the nail on the head, but on the other, missed completely. I believe that this song is merely a tribute to the giant monster who's lived as a hero for children and inner-children all over the world for over a half a century, no real deeper meaning behind it. However, Godzilla has always been a powerful metaphor for the destructive consequinces of man's practices, whether it be from nuclear power or pollution. "History shows again and again how nature points up the folly of man" is practically a quote from the movies.
