Call Me Paranoia

I can feel the tension rise
Far and near this country's silo eyes
Provocation leads one step further to:
ANNIHILATION!!
Beyond the Cuban Crisis
It leads to the power right
Who will shoot off or explode their weapon might
Darkness and despair
Omnimously covers the American air
Bullet proof vests are useless and weak
Ballistic missiles on the launching pad,even as we speak
The World is enraged
One side is willing to engage
It is impossible to keep the lion in his cage
Soldiers on the border
N.Korea will test a 2nd
Flags to burn
People to incinerate
Houses to bulldoze
Paranoia is what we chose
A NEW NUCLEAR WAR
to feed the leaders who chose
All I can hear is the people alike
screaming in unity with futile woes
