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!
