A Mushroom Cloud Lyrics

I want to 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?

I've got me a sweetheart and I love her, too
We want to 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?

We prayed, we partied, we laughed and we pray again
And we prayed, too and tried 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?
Peace, peace, peace where did you go?
