America's missiles were pointed at the Reds If the bu*ton's pushed, then we're all f**ing dead It's capitalist versus Communist and needless suffering A battle over power and who knows what it'll bring Weapons are in the hands of the people we can't trust! Weapons are in the hands of the people we can't trust! It's a nuclear standoff! Who will make the first move? It's a nuclear standoff! It's only the people who will lose! It's a nuclear standoff! And it's a wasted fight! It's a nuclear standoff! A global threat to human life! They say the threat is over, but the problems still remain Each government tells the people that the other is to blame Russia takes control over their people But America does the same, so I say we're all f**ing equal Weapons are in the hands of the people we can't trust! Weapons are in the hands of the people we can't trust! It's a nuclear standoff! Who will make the first move? It's a nuclear standoff! It's only the people who will lose! It's a nuclear standoff! And it's a wasted fight! It's a nuclear standoff! A global threat to human life! We fight them and they fight us But it's the government the people can't trust!
