`The Bomb' anti-war folk song lyrics
An anti-war protest folk song in support of banning the H-Bomb and nuclear weapons disarmament by all governments , whose melody, chorus and first verse were written in 1965; but whose final three verses were written in 2016. (chorus) The Bomb The Bomb When will it drop on this Earth? The Bomb The Bomb When will it end all this mirth? (verses) For it is a reflection Of our Society That an H-Bomb should exist To destroy you and me. (chorus) They claim The Bomb protects us From an enemy attack But if The Bomb is dropped in conflict Won't the other side drop one back? (chorus) And if The Bomb provokes War Or it's dropped by accident Won't millions of civilians Face a radioactive death? (chorus) Each year another government Joins the nuclear weapons club But if ALL NATIONS don't disarm The Earth may burn like the Sun. (chorus)
