Ordinary people feel under attack
And that the enemies invisible they can't fight back

So they focus on an issue that's important to them
But they forget about the worst thing that could happen to men

Global warming's irritating like a splinter
Compared to hunkering down for a nuclear winter

Don't let politicians blind you with their commotion
When you see missiles flying over that's one issue you'd vote on

Make nuclear disarmament the thing you're locked on
By asking all your leaders where they stand on the bomb

Cos if the bombs go off
No other issues matter
If the bombs go off
Your life will be in tatters
If the bombs go off
You'll wish that you'd acted before

If the bombs go off
There's no way to vote them back
If the bombs go off
Your world is going black
If the bombs go off
Your overriding emotion will be regret

Only 9 countries have nuclear weapons
But any single one of them could end us in seconds

One determined hacker and security breach
A single crazy president with a button in reach

An angry dictator who won't be disarmed
Some kind of malfunction that sets off an alarm

So many scenarios can't think of them all
Of course the one that you forget would be the fate we befall

The odds are all long but the risk is so high
And there's no way back, once they're all up in the sky

Cos if the bombs go off
No other issues matter
If the bombs go off
Your life will be in tatters
If the bombs go off
You'll wish that you'd acted before

If the bombs go off
There's no way to vote them back
If the bombs go off
Your world is going black
If the bombs go off
Your overriding emotion will be regret

Nuclear war could lead to social improvement
With equal opportunity and freedom of movement

Freedom of speech would be a forgotten obsession
When you're pushing round a shopping cart with all your possessions

There'd be no discrimination or judging by race
After a massive a fireball has burnt off your face

Cos if the bombs go off
No other issues matter
If the bombs go off
Your life will be in tatters
If the bombs go off
You'll wish that you'd acted before

If the bombs go off
There's no way to vote them back
If the bombs go off
Your world is going black
If the bombs go off
Your overriding emotion will be regret
