I want to be happy I want to be [bad word] I want to be normal in every way
But a mushroom cloud hangs over my dreams
It haunts my future and threatens my schemes
Refrain: Peace, Peace, Peace where did you go?

I've got me a sweetheart and I love her, too
We want to make big plans but what can we do?
When a mushroom cloud has changed [bad word] It's deepened our thinking at home and at school
Refrain

We prayed, we partied, we laughed and we pray again
And we prayed, too and tried not to think of the mess we're in

I cling to my baby and she clings to me
We talk of the future, but what do we see?
There's a mushroom cloud that hangs in the way
Tomorrow looks black so we live for today
Refrain (repeat twice)
