Human Error

There's a bomb going off in Belfast There's a war in Vietnam There's a T.V. documentary To help you understand But the other channel is better Cos it doesn't tax your mind Relax in the ignorance of your home As man destroys mankind And the rest of the world has gone to sleep Because they couldn't care less The world is going, so am I It's such a bloody mess There's an arms race in America The race that no one wins If somebody pushed the button The accidental sin Meanwhile baby wonders "What's a nuclear war?" And mummy says to tell the truth, I'm really not quite sure And the rest of the world was ignorant Because they weren't told more The pamphlet said 'Just stay at home, avoid the threat of war The computer pressed the button The rain was full of lead And more bombs dropped on Belfast And Vietnam went dead The T.V. Documentary Outlined the possible cause It was just a human error Because man invented war And the rest of the world has gone to hell Because they never cared more The children cried before they died So this is nuclear war
