Lyrics:

A man is setting off a bomb to destroy the human race
On the bright blue world he stands upon that floats in empty space.
The whole world sees the villain there, and the other side as well,
But no one knows the ones who chose to let him sound the knell.

Chorus:
Steppe by steppe the shortest war can be won, can be won.
Many stones can kill the whore, singly none, singly none.
And together, what we will we’re perpetrating still.
Many germs can make one ill, singly none, singly none.

Place the blame on the Kremlin masterminds, and the White House over here,
And the people who pay taxes on their hatred, greed, and fear,
And all who stand to profit by the war machine supply.
Place the blame on the unknown voters, too, who never bat an eye.

(Chorus)

Place the blame on the Bomb’s designers, and the makers of each part,
And all who man the radar scan to watch the nightmare start,
And all the unknown voters, from shore to crowded shore,
Who gave one fool the power to set off the final war.

(Chorus)
