April 2031

They say the sky used to be blue
I don't quite believe it
It's probably always been the color that it is
And there were cotton candy clouds
Birds to fly through it
Stories we all love to tell our kids

So I'll close my electronic door and keep the cold outside
Hug my aluminium pillow so tight
And pray the radiation doesn't make me sick tonight

They say there used to be a wind
Wasn't caused by fans
I wonder how it would have felt in my hair
And the nuclear ring around the moon
Was caused by man
If it was, then it's much too late to care

So I'll put my safety goggles on and gaze out at the sun
The artificial atmosphere machines give off a constant hum
In a world that's cold and peaceful, April 2031

No more sky and no more trees
April 2031
No more oxygen to breathe
April 2031
No more hate and no more war
April 2031
Nothing left worth fighting for
2031

As far back as Vietnam
We should have learned our lesson
But we closed our eyes and sent our sons away
And they told us we were winning
As we sold more ammunition
Some were angry, most just looked the other way

Oh, the night's illuminated by the endless glowing sand
That swallowed all the oceans and choked off all the land
In a world beyond resuscitation, even by God's hand

No more moutains, no more sea
April 2031
No more you and no more me
April 2031
No more music, no more songs
April 2031
And no God left to blame it on
April 2031
