Story Behind the Song
Another Song About Betrayal By Our Politicians.
Lyrics
When youth was some sick joke to me,
I wondered what the world would be,
When rockets blew us all to hell,
Politics killed us all- oh well.
Timing's almost everything,
When freedom doesn't ring,
(but rather cha-chings),
Oops, we sold the world to a bitter old white guy,
And he never asked us why.
Nuclear streamers flashing bright,
Turning days to darkest night,
One red button, one bad day,
Time to blow the world away!
Raking beliefs over burning coals,
An ancient way of saving souls,
Lofty men thumping dusty tomes,
Who refuse to leave the rest alone.
Ticking timers counting down,
One wrong scripture- judgement day,
Time to blow the world away!
Life's the fate dealer with the cruelest of hands,
Whoever would have guessed we'd spread this poison on our land,
Where the haves fear the haven'ts,
And the haven'ts must beware,
For the soldiers of the priviledged,
Have laid their traps with care.
They've got cruelty in their battle plan,
They've got the details all mapped out,
They've enslaved us by degrees,
They've convinced us we don't count,
They have made us fear one another,
They have made us see the light,
Without THEM to protect us,
Oh, what a frightening plight.
Paradise is over- the dream is all but dead...
