Beneath the Nuclear Umbrella – Expanded

Beneath the nuclear umbrella We’re as safe as we can be, [With the fascists in the White House] They’ll look out for you and me. We don’t have to think about it Our defense has been assured What would we all do without it? Don’t it make you feel secure? Beneath the nuclear umbrella We just keep on making more Bombs and drones and other weapons Threatenin’ another nuclear war. Then we’ll never have to worry ‘Cause all the power will be ours. We’ll be safe here on the planet In graves and pushin’ up the flowers. Beneath the nuclear umbrella Where the fascists seal our fate They tell us Armageddon’s coming And all we have to do is wait! But we’re the Bad-Ass Raging Grannies And won’t be silent anymore. We say: “No more Hiroshimas” And we’ll work to put an end to war.
