I looked for a reason I looked for the light I looked for some hope But there was none in sight d**h and destruction In the minds of men At the push of a bu*ton It could be the end My brain's getting cloudy I'm feelin' some rage And it's all part of living In the nuclear age I looked to religion I tried to have faith But humanity's insanity Is a hard truth to face Missles and madness Taking over the land Isolation and sadness And it's way out of hand My head's feeling helpless Like I'm caught in a cage And it's just a reaction To the nuclear age It's a sign of indifference It's a sign of the times It's somebody's d**h wish But it sure isn't mine Poets and painters Minstrels and friends Come out of the woodwork Be merry again Lift up your gla**es A joyful heart bring Come along dancing Join with us and sing With a spirit of kinship and a will to be free We shall go forth creatively Poets and painters Minstrels and friends Come out of the woodwork Be merry again Lift up your gla**es A joyful heart bring Come along dancing Join with us and sing With a spirit of kinship and a will to be free We shall go forth creatively With fire in our hearts We shall set the stage And call for an end To the nuclear age
