*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MISSILE ***
The Beatles Anti-Nuclear Songbook
MX In The Sky Over Russia
picture yourself in a Russian flotilla
with subs that launch missiles
into western skies
somebody calls you he says he's from Moscow
"We're through with American lies!"
submarine missiles in yellow and green
towering over your head
look for the glow over sunny New York and its gone
MX in the sky over Russia
MX in the sky over Russia
MX in the sky over Russia
Ahhhhhh
picture yourself in a nuclear shelter
with glowing pajamas and bright purple hair
suddenly somewhere you hear quite a rumbling
our own missiles are in the air
MX in the sky over Russia
MX in the sky over Russia
MX in the sky over Russia
ahhhhhh
Trident Submarine
in the town where I was born
lived a man who sailed the sea
and he told us of a war
that was fought from submarines
so we sailed up to the sun
til the light to launch was green
and we launched beneath the waves
in our Trident submarine
we all live in a Trident submarine
a Trident submarine a Trident submarine
we all live in a Trident submarine
a Trident submarine a Trident submarine
as they live upon the land
we can all be very glad
no hair of blue or skin of green
in our Trident submarine
we all live in a Trident submarine
a Trident submarine a Trident submarine
we all live in a Trident submarine
a Trident submarine a Trident submarine
Let It Be
when I find myself in times of trouble
Russia comes to bother me
there will be a nuking
and in the hour of launching
they are standing right in front of me
speaking words of SALT talks
let it be
and when the missile-minded generals
living in the world agree
there will be a nuking
let it be
for though they may be Russian
there is still a chance that they will see
there will be nuking
let it be
let it be let it be let it be let it be
there will be a nuking
let it be
and when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
shine on, mother Russia
let it be
I wake up to the sound of missiles
mother Russia comes to me
speaking words of nuking
let it be
The Fool On The Hill
day after day
alone on the hill
the man with a warlike mind
is signing more defense bills
but nobody wants to know him
they can see that he's just a fool
and he never keeps a promise
but the fool on the hill
wants to let missiles go
and the eyes in his head
want to see Russia glow
well on the way
head in a cloud
the bomb of a thousand megatons
flying over the ground
but nobody ever sees it
or the glow it appears to make
and nobody ever noticed
when the fool on the hill
sought to make Russia pay
but that stupid old fool
got us all blown away
and in the end
the bomb you make
will cause your precious world
to bake
now...so I don't get in BIG trouble...a disclaimer or two...

Also, please forgive me if you feel that this does not belong
on net.poems. I really didn't know where else to put it.
