When I think of what our world Is to become I get really scared ‘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 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
Noone 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
