Every Day I Pray For The Bomb

Last night I hovered over my plate

And my parents said you can't leave till you've ate

So I stuffed another carrot in my mouth

And thought of only ashes and fallout

Oh every day I'm prayin' for the bomb

I sit and wait with patience and aplomb

And I shall be good and listen to dad and mom

But every day I'm prayin' for the bomb

Oh I've never been the brightest child at school

In fact most days I'm playin' quite a fool

But nowadays they laugh at instead of with me

But when that flash goes off they won't be smilin' you'll see

So every day I'm prayin' for the bomb

Bow my head and close my eyes and wish it on

Oh inside I burn but outside keep it calm

Because every day I'm prayin' for the bomb

No I do not know much of radiation

Or how to stop strange gene mutations

But if it means I won't be eating Brussels sprouts

Then let Russia hit the switch and send them out

Cause every day I'm prayin' for the bomb

And yes I'll miss my friends and dad and mom

But I draw mushroom clouds in detail with crayons

Every day I'm prayin'

Oh I'm so tired of waiting every day

(Every day I'm praying for the bomb)

I'm so tired of waiting

Every day I'm praying for the bomb
