By the Time They Nuke DC
I want to write this songBecause it should be written nowAnd these thoughts should be between usAs far ahead as time will allowFor once the suitcase has explodedIn this country some call freeThoughts like these might not be toleratedBy the time they nuke DCBy the time they nuke DCWill it be too late to wonderIf there might have been another pathThan that of rape and plunder?When the mushroom cloud is risingAnd it's all revenge and unityWho will ask these questionsBy the time they nuke DC?By the time they nuke DCAnd there are millions lying deadFrom the radioactive wastelandWill more angry words be said?Who will recall the empireThe years of global tyranny,The millions slaughtered by our bombersBy the time they nuke DC?Letras de cancionesBy the time they nuke DCWill it be too lateTo stop this vicious cycleAnd turn around the planet's fate?If this eye for an eye continuesWill we have securityAnd will anyone believe thatBy the time they nuke DC?By the time they nuke DCWill the rulers think againBefore they push the buttonTo kill a billion women and men?Must we wait to find outOr might we change historyWill we stop the madnessBefore they nuke DC?
