In the desert sands where they test the bombs
Came these man-made monsters
They'll try to breed
They'll fly by night
We must destroy these nests of the mutant ants
These man-made monsters
Their bodies burn
A gruesome site
Beware of THEM!
Evil is as humans do
Bible prophecy comes true
In the desert sands where they test the bombs
Came these man-made monsters
They'll try to breed
They'll fly by night
We must destroy these nests of the mutant ants
These man-made monsters
Their bodies burn
A gruesome site

The lyrics of Them mostly show people who feel intense emotional pain because they experience both sadness and frustration and they analyze social problems which affect their community. The song demonstrates that people should fear technology because it leads to destructive power which brings forth destructive outcomes and violent force and evil prophecies. The lyrics contain themes of horror and violence which include references to monstrous creatures and destruction that may not be suitable for children under 13.
