Running From The Weapons Of War

It's a new dance scam, a real wham bam,
Side-step the napalm, don't get burned,
Cover your ass and do the strafe

[chorus] Running from the weapons of war,
Running from the weapons of war,
Cover up your head, make out your dead,
Running from the weapons of war,
Running from the weapons of war.

Do the MX shuffle out in the corn fields,
the shell game switch in the casinos
Do the ICBM hop...

The neutron bomb on the Autobahn,
The European bop is really red hot,
Ruskies got the cruise missile blues...

[chorus, preacher break]

The latest in biochemical news
is the hole in the gas mask blues.
Drink up what's left of your booze.
Wipe off the fallout that's on you shoes.
I'm Walter Cronkite. That's the way it is.

Goodnight!
