[Chorus]
The Wasteland leaves no room for easy survival
Were in a world in which the gun is the bible
Hanging onto my dignity
But it kills to see lives torn apart
So I follow in his footsteps
And here's where my journey will start

[Verse 1]
I am the lone wanderer of Vault 101
Abandoned by my father, I’m the prodigal son
My plans done, I'ma take back this land from
The Super Mutants, mini-nukes I'll hand ’em
First place that I found was the Megaton Town
Moriarty said GNR is where I was bound to go
You can't get around you know, without the right tools
So I talked with some traders and now I can fight fools
See there's never tight rules, Super Mutants know that
Raiders, Tablon Mercenaries, with their guns and bats
And the big ass Brutes carry their big ass gats
But none of this gets scary when you got VATS!
That's why ya gotta stay smart, start stashing stimpaks
Buffout gets you jacked, but too much will drive you wack
And don't get over-encumbered, 'cause you'll be left in a sunder
And see the radiation here is much worse than a sunburn
Watch me whip out my gun, turn and face the threat
See I'm a champ wastelander, you can place a bet
That I’ll set things straight in the old DC
It’s just how I get by in Fallout 3, uh
[Chorus]
The Wasteland leaves no room for easy survival
Were in a world in which the gun is the bible
In a land full of savages, but humanity manages
Gazing across the waste we've made
While thinking now all I have is this

[Verse 2]
Here’s my story, chronologically, Museum of Technology
The Washington Monument, Super Mutants can't follow me
And I think I've had it at Rivet City
Doctor Li, told me my father was not quitting
And so she asked if I heard of the Project Purity
At the Jefferson Memorial, 'cause that’s where he's sure to be
But my dear dad was trapped back in Vault 112
And so I had to bring him back from the virtual hell
And so we reinitiated Project Purity's goal
But it was in those moments that we lost all hope
The Enclave invaded and they claimed their land
But my good 'ol dad would lay to waste their plans

[Chorus]
He tried to barter with these men and their demands
But their hostility deprived him of that chance
Still my father wouldn't bother, relenting with the Enclave
He sacrificed himself to trap them all
And put them in their grave
[Bridge]
Escaping through halls, I butchered them all
If they stand in my path, they shall fall
My life feels unreal, don't know what to feel
When I found the Brotherhood of Steel
I took off my armor with the thought of my father
And that was when I left to find the GECK
All of my foes shall be slaughtered

[Verse 3]
Captivated at the Enclave, Raven Rock
Eden gives me FEV and now I've gotta save a lotta
Things on the planet with my father's old dream
Me and the Brotherhood plot to assault the scene
We team up around the Enclave, they're territorial
We got Liberty Prime, so now it's our memorial
But then we learned about the damaged purifier device
Were standin' on thin ice, time for sacrifice

[Chorus]
I care about these people (Care about these people)
I have much hope for them (Yeah)
They'll learn to vanquish evil (They'll learn to vanquish evil)
This time is not the end
So I gotta choose now
Do I take the chance? (Do I take the chance?)
Complete what he began
At my own expense? (At my own expense?)
But it's in my karma
And now I can see (And now I can see)
That I'm just another step in the Fallout Legacy
