Lyric discussion by Vaka 

Cover art for The New Stone Age lyrics by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Judging by the title (the new stone age) and the refrain (Oh my god, what have we done this time), I would say this song is about nuclear proliferation with the first verse being about the last things you would see before death, the second verse dealing with the leaders of the world feeling remorse, and the final verse deals with the realization that everything you know love and hate is gone.
