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
