The Death Of A Fisherman

The Lucky Dragon 5
Covered in death ash from the sky
The sun has risen in the west
And with it the dawning of apocalypse
As the ship returns to port
Their bodies start to fall apart

Champagne pours as the clocks strike 12
As they give a cheers to the end of the world
They're taking bets
The trump is hearts
But they can barely tell the suits apart
Extinction has reached the home straight
And whatever they do will be way too late
They're rolling loaded dice to see the ending of humanity
It was clear that they'd kill us all
When the very first bombs they started to fall
With no regard for human life
For them it's not a sacrifice
How can we put our lives in the hands of
Those who say it's unreasonable to
Make such a big deal of the death of a fisherman?

The AEC's on the phone
But they're not listening
The doctors are staying at home
Even as the men succumb
They'll never accept the damage they have done

Champagne pours as the clocks strike 12
As they give a cheers to the end of the world
They're taking bets
The trump is hearts
But they can barely tell the suits apart
Extinction has reached the home straight
And whatever they do will be way too late
They're rolling loaded dice to see the ending of humanity
It was clear that they'd kill us all
When the very first bombs they started to fall
With no regard for human life
For them it's not a sacrifice
How can we put our lives in the hands of
Those who say it's unreasonable to
Make such a big deal of the death of a fisherman?
