Lyrics

The world today seems absolutely crackers

The current state of the world is chaotic and absurd.

With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high

There is a constant threat of nuclear warfare that could annihilate everyone.

There's fools and idiots sitting on the trigger

There are foolish and idiotic individuals in control of powerful weapons.

It's depressing, and it's senseless, and that's why

This situation is disheartening, without purpose, and that's why it's distressing.
