in a smoke of a mushroom cloudin a smoke of a mushroom cloud
  
And we'll honor our commitmentHonor our commitment

Get buried with our brothersGet buried with our brothers
in one great communal shroudin one great communal shroud
  
Nor, widows like candy canesNor, widows like candy canes

And bandaids come in handyAnd bandaids come in handy

to the homeless kids and wives,to the homeless kids and wives,
We're sure the ones we haven't killedWe're sure the ones we haven't killed
will love us all their liveswill love us all their lives

We're shocked to death at India,We dream of peace most every night
enraged at PakistanWe talk of peace each day
So we're told Arthur GoldbergAnd we have learned a little game
to denounce them, man to manwe'll teach you how to play
  
There in the UN's sacred hellsNow which hand holds the olive branch
we've rained a mighty fussand which hand holds the bomb
Cease Fire, we tell all nationsyou guessed that this one offers peace
that means everyone but us.and that one drops napalm
  
And we'll honor our commitmentAnd we'll honor our commitment

Even if the world goes upEven if the world goes up
in a smoke of a mushroom cloudin a smoke of a mushroom cloud
  
And we'll honor our commitmentHonor our commitment

Get buried with our brothersGet buried with our brothers
in one great communal shroudin one great communal shroud
  
These Latin revolutions, now,You marching intellectuals
we watch 'em like a baskyou poets and you priests
And when we try to lend a handyou mothers with your babes in arms
we can't an why they squawkyou long-haired bearded beasts(?)
  
If only those DominicansIt's alright when you talk of beauty
would follow in our tradelove and all of that crap (?)
Then soldiers wouldn't feel obligedbut when it comes to life and death
to shoot them in the backyou'd better shut your trap
  
And we'll honor our commitmentAnd we'll honor our commitment
honor our commitmenthonor our commitment
Even if the world goes upEven if the world goes up
in a smoke of a mushroom cloudin a smoke of a mushroom cloud
  
And we'll honor our commitmentHonor our commitment
honor our commitmenthonor our commitment
Get buried with our brothersGet buried with our brothers
in one great communal shroudin one great communal shroud
