lyrics

TRIGGER
(the wanton destruction of planet earth)
“The great Leader heaps praise on the enlightened worker.
Industrious labour is rewarded by the pinning on of a medal.”

With the spinning of the earth
sacred earth, holy world, dancing world,
With the spinning of the earth
Who triggered that bomb?
to blazes gone, the burn beyond, the void that joins the love of God.
Who triggered that bomb? Which bomb?
The bomb that blows, all living things, all living things to Kingdom Come.
The bomb that blows, that blows the place, the whole darn place,
That blows the human race the wanton race, to Kingdom Come
Round, round, round,
Was it blood, or belief, or perhaps it was greed?
Was it she? Or he? Was it thee or was it me?
Let one who abandons, abandons all hope,
Trigger the last bomb…
Which bomb?
