I like that you came up with alternate possible lyrics ThisTypeofThinking...even if they may be incorrect, which i don't know, you are at least looking at the song as a fluid piece rather than judging it by someone else's standards...for instance...'Resolve' makes much more sense than 'freeze off.'
It seems this song speaks toward the dilemma, not of mutually assured destruction...but the dual attitudes of having the responsibility of nukes and weighing the temptation to assert power versus peacefully negotiate. Negotiation takes patience and coercion toward one's view through words, which can be difficult, when it is easier to coerce with threat of force, though harder to maintain in the long run without looking hostile. The song constantly changes viewpoints as if it were one's mental state debating between those two conflicting views, as if addressing a politician.
