Shadrack Henry - Cold War lyrics

[Intro FX] [Verse 1: Shadrack Henry] Now as the greatest war in history came to an end Another one involving all the world was set to begin The United States, the USSR, and all of their friends Would face off against each other like some ice skating men The former allies who defeated fascists together Were now involved in the conflict that was cold as the weather An epic fight between superpowers that wouldn't be done Until the Soviets ceased to exist in 1991 But going back to 1945 [?] The two were fine but later that relationship would falter Harry Truman realized the threat and tried to explain It was that which brought about the policy of containment But by 1948, the fate of Europe seemed uncertain As the east and west were cut off from each other by an iron curtain Over time the whole planet would be engulfed in the struggle One that would lead to some additional trouble [Chorus: ?] It was a cold, Cold War Democracy versus communism That's what I'm talkin' about Such a cold, Cold War No Nazis just a lot of friction For half a century wow It was a cold, Cold War Space odysseys and atomic vision The world's survival in doubt Such a cold, Cold War [?] [Verse 2: Shadrack Henry] In 1949 Nato was created to keep the communists at bay And Western Europe insulated Initially, everything worked it held them back until 1955 That was the year they made the Warsaw Pact To make things worse the Soviets would build an A-Bomb Which let the US and themselves to later build an H-Bomb Powerful weapons which could destroy civilizations [?]'s mission would later complicate the brittle situation On October 4th, 1957, and ICMB would push [?] beyond the heavens Twelve years later, on July 20th, many people tuned in To watch three Americans walk across the moon and Hear the famous words that have proven to withstand time [Neil Armstrong recording]: that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind John F. Kennedy's vision became reality However, he would lose his life in Dallas tragically [Chorus: ?] It was a cold, Cold War Democracy versus communism That's what I'm talkin' about Such a cold, Cold War No Nazis just a lot of friction For half a century wow It was a cold, Cold War Space odysseys and atomic vision The world's survival in doubt Such a cold, Cold War [?] [Verse 3: Shadrack Henry] From 1950, until 1953 The United Nation's did its best to keep Southern Korea free A little south, the communists in Indo-China led by Ho-Chi Min Overthrew the French and sought to bind the whole peninsula under one big tent The US sent troops in to stop it but they couldn't prevent The North from taking it in 1975 The war in Vietnam cost the US fifty-eight thousand lives In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis shook the world like an earthquake I'm telling you this was seismic The KGB and CIA spied on each other Sabotaged, aided revolutions, and lied on each other Yet over the time the freezer would dissipate Like in 1972, Nixon and Brezhnev agreed to solve In 1989, down came the Berlin Wall On November 10th and two years later Soviets would fall [Chorus: ?] It was a cold, Cold War Democracy versus communism That's what I'm talkin' about Such a cold, Cold War No Nazis just a lot of friction For half a century wow It was a cold, Cold War Space odysseys and atomic vision The world's survival in doubt Such a cold, Cold War [?] [Outro] Democracy versus communism (Cold War, Cold War) No Nazis just a lot of friction (Cold, War, Cold War) Space oddyseys and atomic visions [?]
