Lyrics

[Verse 1]
B-1 bombers in flight
Trident missiles in the air
MX missiles underground
Protect us till we're dead
[Verse 2]
Memories of tomorrow
Crying in sorrow
[Verse 3]
Push the button
Kiss goodbye the nuclear arsenal
A-bombs flying off their ramps
Nuclear bombs explode
[Verse 4]
Radioactive people
Search for medicine
Pray for shelter
Kill for food
[Verse 5]
Memories of tomorrow
Crying in sorrow
[Verse 6]
Mass starvation
Contaminated water
Destroyed cities
Mutilated bodies
[Verse 7]
Memories of tomorrow
Crying in sorrow
[Verse 8]
I'll kill myself
I'd rather die
If you could see the future
You would know why
[Verse 9]
Memories of tomorrow
