Let's All Make a Bomb (New Version) Lyrics
And as the low aggress the high
All you can do is sit and cry
You've only got yourself to blame
Don't try to stop me; it's too late
My mind's made up; this job won't wait
There's nothing left for me to say
Hey! There's no need to debate
It's time to designate your fate
Take the M out of M.A.D.
Let's all make a bomb
Take one hundred scientists or more
Place in a room and lock the door
Let them confer for half their lives
Unlock the door; go in and see
What they have made for you and me
A brand new toy to idolize
(chorus)
Although the war has just begun
Ignore the sirens; let's have fun
Put on your best; go out in style
Although our future's looking black
We'll go downtown and join the pack
Let's celebrate and vapourize
All you can do is sit and cry
You've only got yourself to blame
My mind's made up; this job won't wait
There's nothing left for me to say
It's time to designate your fate
Take the M out of M.A.D.
Let's all make a bomb
Place in a room and lock the door
Let them confer for half their lives
What they have made for you and me
A brand new toy to idolize
Ignore the sirens; let's have fun
Put on your best; go out in style
We'll go downtown and join the pack
Let's celebrate and vapourize
M.A.D. stands for Mutually Assured Destruction, a military doctrine that assumes that stability can be ensured when both sides know that they can completely destroy the other side. In this case, it obviously refers to the nuclear policy held by the USA and USSR during the Cold War.
As Heaven 17 wryly note, we might as well take the "M" out of M.A.D, since the reality of this situation is that everything will be destroyed.
