I heard the news and it hearkens back to the frigid wars of past
Rattle the saber, give a bloody nose and watch the world collapse
Pile on aggraded fears of arrogance repaid
First strike or the last fright? We’ll find out today
Just one turn and there’s gonna be an arms race
Just one bomb gonna set you free
Two more minutes and we’re counting down to doomsday
Freedom’s on the line and there’s no Plan B
A false alarm and a crooked smile for the global peace decayed
Light up the sky with a new decree and call a Scheisskopf parade
Welcome to the ego show, the bellicose soiree
The scene is set, all systems go
We’ll find out who’s right, who’s left today
There’s no Plan B
They’ll set you free
ICBM for you and me
