Under the Gun

Looking at a baby's face
I saw the plight of the human race
Dying to survive
I was shaken by the irony
And the anger rose inside of me
And would not, would not subside
I thought you're too young to understand
That the fate of every mortal man
Rests in someone's mortal hand tonight
In the nuclear insanity
There's a death watch on the land and sea
And I believe that we may never live our lives

We were born under the gun
And just like every mother's son
We are hostage to the megaton
And the world could die tonight
Under the gun
We live in fear that the end will come
But there's one place to run
Run to the Son

Everyone can see that the hour is late
And every soul on earth has got to demonstrate
Their loving if we're to survive
'Cause we're tired of living on the brink
Scared to death that our ship will sink
At the winking of an eye
This course we're on is a big mistake
'Cause we all lose in the nuclear race
It's time to show to all the heads of state
That we believe, yes, we believe
That we're fighting for our lives

We were born under the gun
And just like every mother's son
We are hostage to the megaton
And the world could die tonight
Under the gun
We live in fear that the end will come
But there's one place to run
Run to the Son

We were born under the gun
And just like every mother's son
We are hostage to the megaton
And the world could die tonight
Under the gun
We live in fear that the end will come
But there's one place to run
Run to the Son

There's a finger on the button
But if it's pressed, we're not forgotten
Millions speak, feel no fear
The road to change is in ascendance here

There's a finger on the button
But if it's pressed, we're not forgotten
Millions speak, feel no fear
The road to change is in ascendance here

There's a finger on the button
But if it's pressed, we're not forgotten
There's a finger on the button
But if it's pressed, we're not forgotten
