Remember when the sweet birds sang Remember when the bombs rained In the year of the quite sun When we thought the world was one
Now I'm a war Weapon of war Don't need to know who I'm fightin' for I'll be your war Your weapon of war Just waitin' for the world to end
Business is boomin' Castin' coffins for the dead Building tanks Bombs and guns The arms race has just begun In the year of the nuclear sun It's a race that can't be won Our missiles light the sky Now nothing will survive
Now I'm a war Weapon of war Don't need to know who I'm fightin' for Your war Weapon of war Just waitin' for the world to end I'll be your war Weapon of war Don't need to know who I'm fightin' for I'll be your war Your weapon of war Waitin' for the world to end
(Death is the meaning of life Keep your guns aimed high Shoot whenever they say Death is on his way)
I'm your war Weapon of war What the hell am I fightin' for Your war Weapon of war
In the year the earth caught fire scorched city's burned to dust One nation Under a nuclear sun now lays rotting Above caves of steel Rivers of fire We await the creatures who walk beneath us Give us war
