When I think of what our world
Is to become I get really scared
aCause every state in east and west
Has got enough weapons to kill all of us
They`re selling nuclear material
To developing countries
so that they`re part of our
Modern hell the atomic age
The pestilence of our century
These are the symbols of our fear
Show us the end of it is near
These are the echoes of our past
But let us end this curse at last
Some people in the industries
They`re faithful statesmen yes indeed
They`re getting rich while
they`re selling death
Now don`t you think
that`s too irresponsible
In these days you`ve talked about
Reduction of the armament race
And this time we have all won
So go on guys and hold this line
No one believes when they say
That they could control what they`ve made
Laughing in the face of death
These are the symbols of our fear
Show us the end of it is near
These are the echoes of our past
But let us end this curse at last
These are the symbols of our fear
Show us the end of it is near
Damn you who feed the fires of hate
For gettin` rich soon it`s too late
These are the symbols of our fear
Show us the end of it is near
These are the echoes of our past
But let us end this curse at last
When I think of what our world
Is to become I get really scared
a~Cause every state in east and west
Has got enough weapons to kill all of us
They`re selling nuclear material
To developing countries
so that they`re part of our
Modern hell the atomic age
The pestilence of our century
These are the symbols of our fear
Show us the end of it is near
Now that the first step has been taken
