Oh friend, you've just got to love MAD,
I'm not talkin' 'bout the old magazine,
I mean "Mutually Assured Destruction",
Where there is no one left to be seen.

Oh yeah, everyone gone in mere seconds,
As a bright cloud rises in the skies,
All those pols kept talkin' 'bout peace,
But it was all just their deceptive lies.

They all had smiles etched on their faces,
As they kept speaking to the other side,
But in their hearts they prepared for war,
Yeah, those jerks just deceived and lied.

Sure, "Peace, peace!" they kept on saying,
There's no need for us to have any fears,
Yet everything is now so amazingly bright,
And then that great heat wave hits my ears.

I didn't even have seconds to really think,
Nor was there any time to register the pain,
As strange gray flakes fall from the skies,
I've become a part of the radioactive rain.

Billions of other folks are all just like me,
One minute we were here and then we were not,
While the elites hide down in their bunkers,
I truly hope that in Hell they will all rot.

None of those who died ever asked for this,
We simply wanted to live our lives in peace,
But constant greed and hunger for more power,
Meant that humanity's wars would never cease.

Then finally the fools pushed the darn button,
Everyone everywhere must've seen a huge flash,
Now we gently and slowly settle to the ground,
We are just a nondescriptive part of the ash.

"And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus [meaning the Apostle Peter] stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"


"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth . . . Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God . . . But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
