Once upon a time in the Cold War

Stockpiles of bombs kept us safe and warm.

Finger on the button of mutually assured destruction.

Since the wall came tumbling down

Nobody talks about The Bomb.

Where have all the bombs gone?

Where were they put away?

Where have all the bombs gone?

Where will the show up?

On the black market? In your back yard?

Buried in the desert or shuffled on train cars?

Plutonomium! Uranium!

It takes thousands of years to neutralize

A quantity of any size!

Where have all the bombs gone?

Do you feel safe today?

Where have all the bombs gone?

Where will they detonate?

In Lybia? Pakistan? India?

China? Korea? Iraq or Iran?

It may not make the press

But you can bet

The nuclear threat is not over yet!

Hey! Hey!
