We knew the world would not be the same
A few people laughed
A few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the lines in the Hindu scripture, Bhagavad Gita
Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that
He should do his duty and to impress him, takes on a multi-armed form
And says
Now I am become Death
The destroyer of worlds
Attack warning red!
Attack warning red!
Seek immediate shelter
Seek immediate shelter
Normal programming has been suspended
Attack warning red!
Attack warning red!
This is an emergency broadcast from the BBC
Information of a possible nuclear strike against this country has been received
The current threat level is critical, meaning an attack is imminent
Civilians are advised to stay in their homes
Evacuations are currently taking place in the London area
All motorways and airports have been closed for military use
Non-essential telephone lines have also been temporarily disconnected
Please stand by and await further information
So
You heard
The papers were shooting you down
Because the New World Order
Has ordered your demise
There's a nuclear warning
That's flying through the sky
