I looked for a reason

I looked for the light

I looked for some hope

But there was none in sight

Death and destruction

In the minds of men

At the push of a button

It could be the end

My brain's getting cloudy

I'm feelin' some rage

And it's all part of living

In the nuclear age



I looked to religion

I tried to have faith

But humanity's insanity

Is a hard truth to face

Missles and madness

Taking over the land

Isolation and sadness

And it's way out of hand

My head's feeling helpless

Like I'm caught in a cage

And it's just a reaction

To the nuclear age



It's a sign of indifference

It's a sign of the times

It's somebody's death wish

But it sure isn't mine



Poets and painters

Minstrels and friends

Come out of the woodwork

Be merry again
