"Nuclear Bomb Song" lyrics

"Nuclear Bomb Song"

Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
When the nuclear bombs come down

Well countries may squab
Countries may fight
They may take all their arguments late into the night
But when countries start mentioning nuclear war
They better start preparing for the end of the world

Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
When the nuclear bombs come down

They say that they like that he's tough
Say that they like that he's loud
You don't care that you don't know what he's talking about
And you say you're gonna follow him
To the worlds on a brink
I got news for you son
It may be sooner than you think

Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
When the nuclear bombs come down

You can call me names
You can say what you want
But if our country was invaded
I'd make my way to the front
And I'd fight right beside ya
Till the day that we die
Just can't help but thinking
It might be worth a try
Not to push this to conflict
Not to provoke
Saying there ain't no hurry
To see the holy smoke
Cause that's just the thing
It ain't a fair fight
Cause when those nucs come down
You're gonna run for your lives

Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
When the nuclear bombs come down

Where you gonna run to
Where you gonna hide
When the nuclear bombs come down
