Nuclear Future
Nuclear Future: A Striking Anthem Against War and Hypocrisy
Lyrics
Will the hypocrisy ever cease?
Expressing frustration and doubt about the continuation of hypocrisy.
You made the bomb, and made the mistake
Criticizing those responsible for creating nuclear weapons and the grave error associated with it.
Make us fight to cover your idiocy
Highlighting the consequences of their mistakes, forcing others to fight to conceal their incompetence.
In this country with it's so-called democracy
Cynical view of the country's democracy, suggesting it is in name only.
We ask why and we get - no reply
Expressing frustration at the lack of answers when questioning authority.
Then we ask about or future - we will die
Expressing concern about the future and the potential fatal outcomes.
Forget our dreams and go to war - sudden death
Critiquing the abandonment of dreams for the sake of war, leading to sudden death.
The bomb is dropped, it's all over - nothing left
Portraying the devastating aftermath of a nuclear bomb, leaving nothing behind.
Can't you get it through your head?
Challenging the audience to understand the destructive consequences.
You'll make us fight until we're dead
Condemning the idea of being forced to fight until death.
I won't kill my friend or foe
Refusing to harm friends or foes, rejecting participation in war.
Fight your own war 'cause I won't go
Rejecting involvement in someone else's war, emphasizing personal choice.
Finance your war with our death
Accusing those in power of financing wars at the cost of human lives.
Won't die for my country, screw the U.S.
Refusing to die for one's country, expressing dissatisfaction with the U.S.
A country dying, we've got no say
Depicting a nation in decline where citizens have no influence.
You fuck up, but we're the ones who pay
Attributing the consequences of mistakes to the public, who bear the burden.
Won't help the poor or be second best
Rejecting the idea of helping the poor or settling for mediocrity.
Either you like it or die like the rest
Emphasizing the extreme choices of either conformity or death.
We all mean nothing to our twisted earth
Expressing the insignificance of individuals in the face of a distorted world.
Why kill one another, what's it all worth?
Pondering the futility of killing one another and questioning the value of life.
Use your head, and look what we've got
Encouraging critical thinking about the current state of affairs.
A future filled with nothing, we are left to rot
Describing a bleak future with nothing positive, leading to decay.
From disagreeing to the threat of war
Tracing the progression from disagreement to the imminent threat of war.
Blow us off the earth, will even up the score
Suggesting a destructive resolution to conflicts, with mutual annihilation.
I won't pay the price of fate
Refusing to bear the cost of others' decisions and desires.
To fulfill your lust and hate
Rejecting the idea of fulfilling destructive desires driven by lust and hate.
When it's all over and it's all been said
Reflecting on the aftermath and consequences of destructive actions.
You sit pretty, as we lie dead
Highlighting the contrast between the comfortable state of those in power and the death of others.
