Threats, counter-threats and yet more threats of annihilation from political leaders – yet life goes on. Still, it’s a horrible fact that thousands die every year in wars, famines and natural disasters (often made worse by human environmental blunders). Though we complain about the weather, government, TV, traffic and many other things, we are mostly lucky to live in a relatively free, fair and peaceful place like the UK – at least we’re not being bombed out of our houses. And we can still, thankfully, protest (and sing silly songs).

ARMAGEDDON BLUES

WELCOME TO THE MADHOUSE HERE ON PLANET EARTH
HEADING FOR DESTRUCTION FOR ALL THAT WE ARE WORTH
DON’T WORRY IT REALLY AIN’T NO CRIME
GONNA GO DOWN FIGHTING TO THE END OF THE LINE

Chorus: AT ARMAGEDDON – ARMAGEDDON TIME

YOU CAN PLAY THE BANJO – THE FIDDLE OR THE FLUTE
OR JUST SHOOT YOUR MOUTH OFF AND SIT THERE LOOKING CUTE
DON’T WORRY – IF YOU JUST BOMB ALONG
TO SHOW APPRECIATION – AIN’T NO RIGHT OR WRONG

STRUM A UKULELE OR PICK AN OLD GUITAR
A WEAPON AT THE READY – ANYONE CAN BE A STAR
DON’T WORRY – IT’S YOUR KALASHNIKOV
A LITTLE HIGH EXPLOSIVE AND WE’LL ALL GO OFF

M8:
OOH OOH – BABY WE’RE A LONG TIME GONE
AND WHEN WE’RE SIX FEET UNDER
WE WON’T BE SINGING – WE WON’T BE SINGING
WE WON’T BE SINGING THIS SONG

SLAP BANK WALLOP RATTLE AND ROLL
EVERYTHING’S EXPLODING NEVER MIND THE DEATH TOLL
DON’T WORRY IF THIS IS THE END
WHEN WE GET DOWN TO HADES START ALL OVER AGAIN

YOU ASK WHAT IS THE REASON FOR LIVING ANYWAY
HERE AND GONE TOMORROW JUST TO MAKE A LITTLE HAY
DON’T WORRY IF WE’VE HARDLY BEGUN
SOON IT WILL BE OVER SO LET’S HAVE SOME FUN
