NO Space Wars!

Songs for Peace in Space

The Bomb Song

by Lynda Williams

Once upon a time in the cold war
stockpiles of bombs kept us
safe and warm.

Finger on the button of
mutually assured destruction.
But since the wall came tumbling down
nobody talks about THE BOMB.

Where have all the bombs gone?
Where were they put away?
Where have all thousands of bombs gone?
Where will they show up?

On the black market?
In your back yard?
Buried in the desert or shuffled on train cars?

Plutonium! Uranium!
It takes millions of years to neutralize
a quantity of any size!

Where have all the bombs gone?
Do you feel safe today?
Where have all thousands of bombs gone?
Where will they detonate?

In Lybia? Pakistan? India? China? Korea?
Los Angelas? Iraq or Iran?

It may not make the press
but you can bet
the nuclear threat is not over yet!!

Hey! Hey!
