                The Beatles Anti-Nuclear Songbook

  MX In The Sky Over Russia

    picture yourself in a Russian flotilla
    with subs that launch missiles
    into western skies
    somebody calls you he says he's from Moscow
    "We're through with American lies!"
    submarine missiles in yellow and green
    towering over your head
    look for the glow over sunny New York and its gone
    MX in the sky over Russia
    MX in the sky over Russia
    MX in the sky over Russia
    Ahhhhhh

    picture yourself in a nuclear shelter
    with glowing pajamas and bright purple hair
    suddenly somewhere you hear quite a rumbling
    our own missiles are in the air
    MX in the sky over Russia
    MX in the sky over Russia
    MX in the sky over Russia
    ahhhhhh



    Trident Submarine

    in the town   where I was born
    lived a man   who sailed the sea
    and he told   us of a war
    that was fought   from submarines
    so we sailed   up to the sun
    til the light  to launch was green
    and we launched   beneath the waves
    in our Trident submarine
    we all live in a Trident submarine
    a Trident submarine   a Trident submarine
    we all live in a Trident submarine
    a Trident submarine   a Trident submarine

    as they live   upon the land
    we can all      be very glad
    no hair of blue  or skin of green
    in our Trident submarine
    we all live in a Trident submarine
    a Trident submarine   a Trident submarine
    we all live in a Trident submarine
    a Trident submarine   a Trident submarine



    Let It Be

    when I find myself in times of trouble
    Russia comes to bother me
    there will be a nuking
    and in the hour of launching
    they are standing right in front of me
    speaking words of SALT talks
    let it be

    and when the missile-minded generals
    living in the world agree
    there will be a nuking
    let it be
    for though they may be Russian
    there is still a chance that they will see
    there will be nuking
    let it be
    let it be   let it be   let it be   let it be
    there will be a nuking
    let it be

    and when the night is cloudy
    there is still a light that shines on me
    shine on, mother Russia
    let it be
    I wake up to the sound of missiles
    mother Russia comes to me
    speaking words of nuking
    let it be




    The Fool On The Hill

    day after day
    alone on the hill
    the man with a warlike mind
    is signing more defense bills
    but nobody wants to know him
    they can see that he's just a fool
    and he never keeps a promise
    but the fool on the hill
    wants to let missiles go
    and the eyes in his head
    want to see Russia glow

    well on the way
    head in a cloud
    the bomb of a thousand megatons
    flying over the ground
    but nobody ever sees it
    or the glow it appears to make
    and nobody ever noticed
    when the fool on the hill
    sought to make Russia pay
    but that stupid old fool
    got us all blown away






    and in the end
    the bomb you make
    will cause your precious world
    to bake






now...so I don't get in BIG trouble...a disclaimer or two...

The opinions expressed in this message are not necessarily the
opinions of Georgia Tech or the University System of Georgia.
It is not intended to be anti-Russian or Anti-American (unless
the American way is "Nuke 'em til they glow". It is simply
an expression of a desire to keep the planet intact.
Also, please forgive me if you feel that this does not belong
on net.poems. I really didn't know where else to put it.
