A//Political - False Sense Of Security lyrics

The cold war may be over, but the threat remains the same As politicians continue to play their nuclear games Old enemies are friends now, but the weapons are still aimed The leaders promise cutbacks while the military is retained The generals had strategized to win a nuclear war They're following the battle plans today just like before The bombers are still flying with targets an hour away Without enemies it's pointless, but the army needs to play To maintain their existence though the justification's gone No one dares to stop them-they've been at it far too long The economy's dependent upon the warfare state With numerous jobs created by the urge to decimate Computer targeting systems so the missiles always hit And nuclear power plants to make explosives with Polymer construction so the missiles will fly straight And millions of employees who are paid well to create The weapons of destruction which keep them all employed There'll be no job security when the whole world is destroyed The cold war may be over, but the threat is still there And the public's so deluded that they don't seem to care That despite all the turmoil the weapons are in place And politicians are as likely to destroy the human race
