four minutes to midnight-rebecca johnson

Four minutes to midnight
Four minutes to Armageddon
Four minutes before we die,
Four minutes to say goodbye.

This isn't the way they said it would be
They said that the bomb was only keeping us free
Now that they are underground so they don't have to see
The eyes of the dying.

Three minutes to midnight
Three minutes to Armageddon
Three minutes before we die,
Three minutes to say goodbye.

Why didn't we shout, why didn't we cry?
Why didn't we call deterrence a lie?
Why didn't we listen to the people who tried
To keep us from dying?

Two minutes to midnight
Two minutes to Armageddon
Two minutes before we die,
Two minutes to say goodbye.

This isn't the way they said it would be
They promised that the bomb was only keeping us free
Now that they are underground so they don't have to see
The eyes of the dying.

One minute to midnight
One minute to Armageddon
One minute before we die
One minute to say...
