The Doomsday Clock - 2- Minutes To Midnight

You go about your daily life, but do you even care ? That one day you will wake up and your earth's not there And what I'm about to tell you may come as quite a shock But it's only two minutes to midnight on the Doomsday clock. In nineteen forty seven the worlds scientists did all agree To create some sort of symbol to show the end of humanity So an imaginary clock was made for all of us to see And when the clock chimes midnight, it's the end for you and me . We're in the nuclear age now with climate change as well And some of our world leaders are ringing our death knell When they test their nuclear bombs the big hand starts to move What in the name of God I ask, are they all trying to prove. There won't be any winners, we'll all cease to exist All of us will be vaporised in a cloud of nuclear mist The ozone layer, the Artic ice and the forest's too Are all slowly being eroded, but what can we all do. Well you can vote for people, that can help mankind survive And if they get in then there's a chance, we'll get out of this alive There is still some time though with two whole minutes to go But please don't say you weren't warned or that you didn't know.
