John Wallace Wheatley - World War III Lyrics

I can't help myself thinking that the changing of the tide
Is supposed to signify some revelation in me
An epiphany maybe
She's been told too many times that she's emotionally dead
And she has no common sense but she wants to understand
So take it like a man if you can
God damn

The penny dropped a thousand miles just like a meteor
It burned up in the atmosphere and began the third world war
They nuked it out the sky before it made its way back home
God knows what would have happened if it had carried on

The so called end of days were not what we'd come to expect
They were easy to forget, let's just pretend that we don't see
Each other on the street, fine by me
Groovy

I took a piece of shrapnel in my right shoulder blade
Not to sound dramatic but it still hurts when I play
The penny dropped long before anything was done
God knows what would have happened if it had carried on

God knows what would have happened if it had carried on
