Daddy

This was the second song lyrics I wrote

Daddy, what was it really likeWhen we lived on EarthI never knew, how could I?It happened before my birthDid they really have riversAnd mountain streams so coolCould children really play outsideWhen they came home from schoolChorus

What made them do it DaddyCause it doesn't seem quite rightThat men with all those marvellous thingsShould argue and fightWhat made them do it DaddyWas it greed or hate or fearThat made them destroy all thatAnd forced us to live up here

Daddy if you were PresidentWhy could you not see senseWhy sacrifice those childrens' livesFor missiles and defenceWhy did you pull the leverAnd scatter all the crowdsAnd cover all God's given Earth

With deadly mushroom clouds
