lyrics

We need to wake up
Been complacent far too long
The world is full of enemies
Bent on starting war
Throwing accusations
From one side to the other
Knowing it could mean the end
And no one will recover

But you don’t see it like that
You think you are invincible
That you can save the world
From the inevitable
But once you push that button
There is no turning back
End will surely come
When everyone attacks

The bomb is not strategic
Like they say it is
The bomb is not discriminate
It kills all it sees
The bomb is no ones friend
It can not pick and choose
The bomb is no ones enemy
The enemy is you

We thought it was over
We thought we were free
We laugh out loud but cry inside
We thought we had closure
No longer enemies
We assure the crowd that we will never die
We started relations
We acted like friends
We shared our frustrations
Differences we would mend

As more time passes by
The veil gets thinner
The rules no longer apply
And hope, not even a glimmer
With trust thrown out the window
And everyone choosing sides
And tensions ready to blow
There’ll be no place left to hide

The bomb is not strategic
Like they say it is
The bomb is not discriminate
It kills all it sees
The bomb is no ones friend
It can not pick and choose
The bomb is no ones enemy
The enemy is you

We shared a bond
We opened all doors
But once you have the bomb
There is no end to the cold war
A world of one nation
Yes we just pretend
Despite all the coalitions
The cold war will never end

The bomb is not strategic
Like they say it is
The bomb is not discriminate
It kills all it sees
The bomb is no ones friend
It can not pick and choose
The bomb is no ones enemy
The enemy is you
