Play With the Mad 
September 25, 1991 

do you believe what people say? 
that the world has come to peace today
when people play with atomic bombs
invent more weapons -
play along
maser, laser in the limelight
meltdown, breakdown, hell to pay
all the more to loose in fight
d'ya still believe what people say? 

let's go buy an atom bomb
delivery for just a song
we've timed the fuse, tell me is it lit? 
what am I to do with it? 
let's nail Peking, where the hell do I throw this thing? 
ain't a matter of what you do
one hundred thousand come back at you
just one person
just one day
mind gone, drop bomb anyway
see the hundred thousand fly
just some billion people die
but we'll survive on just one man
or ten, or two, a flash, it's done
or think on this, my poor lost friend
they'll likely get you in the end
to exterminate one violent man
though if he can do it, any can
there is no winning such a war
once the war has started
