The Big One

1.          I was born before t.v.
When the world still had some subtlety
The only fear when I was young
Was the mega-ton of the big big one
All day long we practiced this
Duck and cover and hope they’ll miss
Now the only question is
Does the big one still exist

2.         Everything was in black and white
Old men looking for a fight
Commies Commies everywhere
Raining terror from the air
My next-door neighbor dug a hole
He said “Peking, that’s my goal”
It was full of food and fallout free
That was our reality

Now, the big one’s loud The big one’s fast
The big one’s fire and dust and gas
The big one’s fierce The big one’s hid
It will get at work or in your bed
Rather red than dead
That’s what Ho Chi Minh said

3.         JFK back in the day
Made Nikita go away
          The stockpiles then began to swell
          We got a sure fire killer from the bowels of Hell
          There is a button in D.C.
          That sets these fiery angels free
          Time will make us all the fool
          If the big one comes to rule
          If the big one comes to rule
