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
(War)
(War war)
(War)
(War war)
(War)
(War war)
(War)
(War 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
