A Mushroom Cloud

A Mushroom Cloud - Sammy Salvo

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

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

Where did you go

We prayed we partied we laughed

And we prayed again prayed again

And we played it cool

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

Where did you go

Peace peace peace where did you go

Where did you go
