When you see this sign it’s time to go, this sign, this sign
You'll know it’s time to go when the siren starts to blow
Remember the Civil Defense sign
This sign won't save you and me, this sign, this sign
But it’s a hole for the souls of your friends and mine
Remember the Civil Defense sign
My town’s got more signs than yours, more signs, more signs
I’ve got more bandaids, more ice cubes and more iodine
Just in case it hurts some friend of mine.
When you see this sign it’s time to go, this sign, this sign
You'll know it’s time to go when the siren starts to blow
Remember the Civil Defense sign
I won’t be the one to die, to die, to die
Of course a certain percentage just has to go
But I won't be the one to die
Make the missiles so daddy will have a job, a job, a job
When the missiles start to fly, we can all lay down and die
Than daddy won’t have to work anymore.
When you see this sign it’s time to go, this sign, this sign
You'll know it’s time to go when the siren starts to blow
Remember the Civil Defense sign

Per Bartleby: secondo me tutte queste canzoni non andrebbero nel percorso sul nucleare. Quel percorso raccoglie le canzoni contro il nucleare per uso civile, non sulla bomba atomica.

Capito. Allora va in quello su Hiroshima e Nagasaki...
Confesso che l'unico problema che spesso ho con questo splendido sito è proprio l'inserimento nei percorsi, dove il mio spirito razionale si scontra con quello anarcoide che li impronta...

perché mai Hiroshima e Nagasaki se parla della minaccia atomica quasi vent'anni dopo Hiroshima?

Okkei, è una canzone che parla di minaccia atomica ma non sta nel percorso sul nucleare e nemmeno in quello si H&N...
La conferma di quanto aggiunto sopra...
Non lo so, mettetela dove vi pare oppure non assegnatela a nessun percorso, cosa devo dire?!?

Forse possiamo creare un nuovo percorso sulla minaccia nucleare durante la guerra fredda, visto che ci sono varie canzoni sull'argomento
