On Nuke Alert
Temperature rising
Both continents waging rhetoric
Pyongyang is ready to test
Iran is also prepared to put on its glove
More than ever,in these perilous circumstance
We continue to wonder:WILL IT BE WASHINGTON,NEW YORK,OR FRANCE??!
The arena is ready and their stage is in readiness
Somewhere over Delaware,the Warning goes unheard
Purple cloud over yonder Lincoln's memorial
A tear in his eye before one final testimonial
Children will be hiding,all beneath their desk
Sirens blaring as our world is ready to become a pile of ash
Bombs in the air because our leaders simply do not care
Faith is a questionable commodity with tomorrow becoming a WHERE ARE WE
NOW-THE X'S OR THE ZEROES?!!
Mothers in the park
Fathers driving to work in the early dark
Saying to themselves:IT IS ALL IN OUR HEAD,LIFE WILL GO ON AS BEFORE!!
If that is so then why is the Nuclear Mail man still knocking on our Front Door?!
Shattering windows
Orange rays of atomic meltdown
Firefighters and police,lying helplessly without movement,on the ground
All for naught because we had simply forgot
That we were on Nuke Alert while our whining babes fought
