There's a bomb going off in Belfast. |
|
There's a war in Vietnam. |
|
There's a T.V. documentary. |
|
To help you understand. |
|
But the other channel is better. |
|
'Cause it doesn't tax your mind. |
|
Relax in the ignorance of your home |
|
As man destroys mankind. |
|
And the rest of the world has gone to sleep |
|
Because they couldn't care less. |
|
The world is going, so am I. |
|
It's such a bloody mess. |
|
There's an arms race in America |
|
The race that no one wins. |
|
If somebody pushed the button |
|
The accidental sin. |
|
Meanwhile baby wonders, |
|
"What's a nuclear war?" |
|
And mummy says to tell the truth, I'm really not quite sure. |
|
And the rest of the world was ignorant |
|
Because they weren't told more. |
|
The pamphlet said 'Just stay at home, avoid the threat of war.' |
|
The computer pressed the button. |
|
The rain was full of lead. |
|
And more bombs dropped on Belfast. |
|
And Vietnam went dead. |
|
The T.V. Documentary |
|
Outlined the possible cause. |
|
It was just a human error |
|
Because man invented war. |
|
And the rest of the world has gone to hell |
|
Because they never cared more. |
|
The children cried before they died. |
|
"So this is nuclear war." |
