I wanna be happy, I want to be gay
I want to be normal in every way
But a mushroom cloud hangs over my dreams
It haunts my future and threatens my schemes
Peace, peace, peace, where did you go? (Where did you go?)
I've got me a sweetheart, and I love her too
We wanna make big plans, but what can we do?
When a mushroom cloud has changed every rule
It's deepened our thinking at home and at school
Peace, peace, peace, where did you go? (Where did you go?)
We pray (we pray)
We party, we laugh, and we pray again (we pray again)
And we play it cool and try 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
Peace, peace, peace, where did you go? (Where did you go?)
Oh, peace, peace, peace, where did you go? (Where did you go?)
