lyrics

“Where Will You Be When the Bombs Start to Fall?” by David Savage

Verse 1

I see lots of countries stockpiling lots of bombs / while lots of children go hungry and lots of farmers lose their farms.

There's lots to go around but some few people want to keep it all, and tell me

Where will you be when the bombs start to fall? Oh tell me, where will you be when the bombs start to fall?

Verse 2

Computer controlled missiles, lasers shot from space / Once we were human, now we're just the arms race

Someone's gonna push the button to save face and end it all, and tell me

Where will you be when the bombs start to fall? Oh tell me, where will you be when the bombs start to fall?

Bridge

What will you be doing when the skies fill up with flame?

When the world blows up 'cause love is lost, in a game too terrible to name

When we face our shame in the final flash, whose name will you call? and tell me

Where will you be when the bombs start to fall? Oh tell me, where will you be when the bombs start to fall?
