An anti-war protest folk song in support of banning the H-Bomb and nuclear weapons disarmament by all governments , whose melody, chorus and first verse were written in 1965; but whose final three verses were written in 2016.
(chorus)
The Bomb
The Bomb
When will it drop on this Earth?
The Bomb
The Bomb
When will it end all this mirth?
(verses)
For it is a reflection
Of our Society
That an H-Bomb should exist
To destroy you and me. (chorus)
They claim The Bomb protects us
From an enemy attack
But if The Bomb is dropped in conflict
Won't the other side drop one back? (chorus)
And if The Bomb provokes War
Or it's dropped by accident
Won't millions of civilians
Face a radioactive death? (chorus)
Each year another government
Joins the nuclear weapons club
But if ALL NATIONS don't disarm
The Earth may burn like the Sun. (chorus)
