MDC - Missiles Destroyed Civilization
[Verse 1]
It started with an atom bomb
Now there’s enough to end the world
Generals on both sides say
We’ll build more and more
While the world’s hungry starve
Death is knocking at our door
Missile destroyed civilization
[Verse 2]
U.S.
U.S.S.R.
War in the east
West, south and north
Nuclear bondage
Life in chains
What’s the advantage
When there’s no real gains?
[Chorus]
Unity’s just a word
And violence the disease
Situational founding
Selfishness astounding
Planes are out there pounding
Situational founding
Air raid sirens sounding
Missiles destroyed civilization
[Verse 3]
General Motors
And the four-star generals
President Reagan
King Rockefeller
Will they determine
The fate of the planet?
The more choice we give up
The less choice we get
Stand up and speak
Or lay down and die
[Chorus]
Computers confirming
Politicians are squirming
Our stomachs are churning
Human flesh burning
Missile destroyed civilization
[Verse 4]
We’re only hairless monkeys
Ripened off the trees
Scrambling on our hands and knees
Fight for what we think we need
So continues violence
Time after bloody time
Can’t we make a leap of faith
For the love of humankind?
[Bridge]
Reasons why we’re hated abroad
East meets west on a world chessboard
Common market, capitalist block
Pointing at Russia with our imperialist cock
Who’d believe Christ’s words of peace
Would leave so many dying and diseased?
[Verse 5]
Is it time to kiss you goodbye
The late great planet Earth?
Can no one come to the rescue?
A wish from us asking why
Hope for a little common sense
That seems so uncommon
I grab each precious moment
I hold it in my hand
I share my feelings with you
I hope you understand
Apart we’re all defeated
Together we may stand
Planes are out there pounding
Air raid sirens sounding
[Outro]
Missile destroyed civilization
Missile destroyed civilization
