Shelter
Hiroshima, Nagasaki
They suffered a slow agony
Corpses rot in sickening piles
Decomposing with a smile
They came in search of paradise
But found instead a gaping hole
No olive palms, no coconut trees
No holiday isle in the south seas
Nuclear shelters
For Nuclear war
Nuclear shelters
Who are they for
Shelters there's no room for babies
Screaming men or screaming ladies
They won't take your mother in
To prevent her suffering
When they want to launch their bomb
It doesn't matter where you're from
No Holy Psalm or Hymn you sing
Will prevent you vaporising
Nuclear shelters
For Nuclear war
Nuclear shelters
Who are they for
In shelters there's no room for babies
Screaming men or screaming ladies
They won't take your mother in
To prevent her suffering
When they want to launch their bomb
It doesn't matter where you're from
No Holy Psalm or Hymn you sing
Will prevent you vaporising
They suffered a slow agony
Corpses rot in sickening piles
Decomposing with a smile
They came in search of paradise
But found instead a gaping hole
No olive palms, no coconut trees
No holiday isle in the south seas
Nuclear shelters
For Nuclear war
Nuclear shelters
Who are they for
Shelters there's no room for babies
Screaming men or screaming ladies
They won't take your mother in
To prevent her suffering
When they want to launch their bomb
It doesn't matter where you're from
No Holy Psalm or Hymn you sing
Will prevent you vaporising
Nuclear shelters
For Nuclear war
Nuclear shelters
Who are they for
In shelters there's no room for babies
Screaming men or screaming ladies
They won't take your mother in
To prevent her suffering
When they want to launch their bomb
It doesn't matter where you're from
No Holy Psalm or Hymn you sing
Will prevent you vaporising
