Whistling in the Nuclear Wind

copyright 2010 all rights reserved
.............................................................

I worked in a factory
We made missiles and bombs
But I was jut the engineer
That they put in charge

Yes sir thats my memo
Yes sir thats my design
But before it went into production
Itd changed two or three times

Oh tell me again
How long until this all ends
Nobody here is perfect
Youre just whistling in the nuclear wind


I could have been a hero
Things could have turned out a different way
But we lost the cosmic roll of the dice
Now everybody must pay

And Im so sorry about your losses
As if Id profited somehow
Oh baby baby sweet baby
Please dont leave me now

Oh Ill tell you my friend
Everything comes to an end
All my songs drift to outer space
Like whistling in the nuclear wind

This is not how I planned it
I thought I did everything right
Just to drift through life unscathed
Then turn out the light

But the lights have just gotten brighter
And here I am being judged
The apocalypse comes to all mankind
And will come to you soon enough

Oh No End
Its just the beginning
and all the affairs of man reduce to
whistling in the nuclear wind

Hi, I like the musical way you composed it, repeating the line on piano, and the harmonical character of the song. The use of the deep bass notes...well done.
