April 2031 lyrics

They say the sky used to be blue,

I don't quite believe it.

It's probably always been 

the color that it is.

And there were cotton candy clouds, 

birds to fly through it,

stories we all love to tell our kids.

So I'll close my electronic door 

and keep the cold outside, (outside)

hug my aluminium pillow so tight

and pray the radiation 

doesn't make me sick tonight.

They say there used to be a wind 

wasn't caused by fans.

I wonder how it would have felt in my hair.

And the nuclear ring around the moon 

was caused by man.

If it was, then it's much too late to care.

So I'll put my safety goggles on

and gaze out at the sun (sun).

The artificial atmosphere machines 

give off a constant hum

in a world that's cold and peaceful, April 2031.

No more sky and no more trees,

April 2031.

No more oxygen to breathe,

April 2031.

No more hate and no more war,

April 2031.

Nothing left worth fighting for, 

2031.

As far back as Vietnam,

we should have learned our lesson,

but we closed our eyes 

and sent our sons away.

And they told us we were winning 

as we sold more ammunition.

Some were angry, 

most just looked the other way.

Oh, the night's illuminated 

by the endless glowing sand (sand)

that swallowed all the oceans 

and choked off all the land

in a world beyond resuscitation,

even by God's hand.

No more mountains, no more sea, 

April 2031.

No more you and no more me, 

April 2031.

No more music, no more songs, 

April 2031.

And no God left to blame it on, 

April 2031.

(No more children playing, April 2031).

(No more need for praying, April 2031).

(No more children playing, April 2031).

(No more need for praying, April 2031).
