Get a little frightened sometimes Catching bad news on the radio There's a lack of destination With the talk of global arms control
In Beirut the hate is burning
There are lethal heroes in time Are we lethal heroes gone blind
And often I sit and wonder I clearly hear the thunder Coming on strongly with the eastern winds If there's a God in heaven From whom the Earth was given Stop this madness that we're living in
You'll hear the cry of freedom But it's a long bloody way
