Armageddon
At a time like this, we need to remember
We can annihilate ourselves in an instant
A fact I think these aggressive war mongers
Don't get, their actions are so flagrant
They fail to see past their dirty big noses
These egotistical self centred maniacs
So scary to think we're totally at their mercy
Their capable of devastating attacks
The only thing stopping them I certainly hope
The realization the aggressor dies too
A totally senseless and barbaric act
No one gains and everyone gets screwed
It certainly isn't me I'm thinking about
Happy with the path that I've taken
All those young'uns with their whole lives ahead
Must be constantly in fear of armageddon
Why must it constantly be on our minds
Since a child, it certainly hasn't been perfect
Too old to expect to ever see the day
When we witness an end to these conflicts
