cliff richard and the shadows
under the gun
Looking at baby's face I saw the plight of the human race Dying to survive Shaken by the irony 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 got to demonstrate Their loving if we're to survive 'Cos 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's a big mistake 'Cos we all lose in the nuclear race It's time to show 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 There's a finger on the button but if it's pressed we're not forgotten Millions speak, feel no fear The mood 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 mood 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
