weapon of war

remember when the sweet birds sang

remember when the bombs rained

in the year of the quite sun

when we thought the world was one

now i'm a war

weapon of war

don't need to know who i'm fightin' for

i'll be your war

your weapon of war

just waitin' for the world to end

business is boomin'

castin' coffins for the dead

building tanks

bombs and guns

the arms race has just begun

in the year of the nuclear sun

it's a race that can't be won

our missiles light the sky

now nothing will survive

now i'm a war

weapon of war

don't need to know who i'm fightin' for

your war

weapon of war

just waitin' for the world to end

i'll be your war

weapon of war

don't need to know who i'm fightin' for

i'll be your war

your weapon of war

waitin' for the world to end

(death is the meaning of life

keep your guns aimed high

shoot whenever they say

death is on his way)

i'm your war

weapon of war

what the hell am i fightin' for

your war

weapon of war

in the year the earth caught fire scorched city's burned to dust

one nation

under a nuclear sun now lays rotting

above caves of steel

rivers of fire

we await the creatures who walk beneath us. give us war.
