(requiem For a Nuke Bomb)a Planet Is a Beautiful One To Waste
(chanting)
Atom Atom Nuclear Atom
See the evil in continent stratum
Folly Folly Mankind's Jolly
Come to end my daughter Holly
Nova Nova dear planet Johovah
destroying utterly my Irish Clover
Sinner Sinner despot Winner
After explosion he will eat his dinner
I,I, I cannot cry
To feel no emotion before we die
(end chant)
Why do we want to explode our waste
to leave upon this planet such sour taste
Mothers and their children
Fathers in their Ferraris
Farmers cannot plant
Animals will never again graze
They would be nothing except
An ash in piles courtesy of that Purple Haze
Lovers no more
Remnants of my Uncle's General Store
There is nothing to be found
Just a billion skeletons rotting on the ground
