lyrics

Technofascist nightmare, the arms race makes no sense
One last breath, then megadeath, it's nothing but insane

Loose talk by world leaders, scientists morally blind
Government and capital locked in death's embrace

Chorus: It's nuclear frustration, a case of armageddon dread
Mutual assured destruction down in bunkers lined with lead
It's gross miscalculation where the survivors envy the dead
I got nuclear frustration, yeah, armageddon dread

Missiles upon missiles, bombers rife with bombs
Foundations of careers of arrogant strategic fools

Loose talk by world leaders, scientists morally blind
The President's a liar and we're running out of time

I get so scared at midnight, it clouds my thoughts at dawn
A fireball that lashes out burning shadows into a wall

Government and business locked in death's embrace
My fate seems outside my control, it's almost 12 o'clock

Chorus

Thirty years later, the current lineup features original members Hank Hoffman and Richard Brown—now playing guitar and flute as well as sax—along with drummer Tom Smith and bassist Randy Stone. Pop meets psych freakout. ... more
