There's a bomb going off in Belfast

There's a war in Vietnam

There's a T.V. documentary

To help you understand

But the other channel is better

Cos it doesn't tax your mind

Relax in the ignorance of your home

As man destroys mankind

And the rest of the world has gone to sleep

Because they couldn't care less

The world is going, so am I

It's such a bloody mess

There's an arms race in America

The race that no one wins

If somebody pushed the button

The accidental sin

Meanwhile baby wonders

"What's a nuclear war?"

And mummy says to tell the truth, I'm really not quite sure

And the rest of the world was ignorant

Because they weren't told more

The pamphlet said 'Just stay at home, avoid the threat of war

The computer pressed the button

The rain was full of lead

And more bombs dropped on Belfast

And Vietnam went dead

The T.V. Documentary

Outlined the possible cause

It was just a human error

Because man invented war

And the rest of the world has gone to hell

Because they never cared more

The children cried before they died

So this is nuclear war
