Lyrics 40 Years (12") - Paul Hardcastle

40 Years (12")

Will there be — will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years
Way back in 45 — when the first atom bomb came alive
In no time they opened the door — more power than were ever seen before
Choose a city where thousands could die — show the
world what would happen if the atom bombs fly
Told the west you have no fear — this bomb will keep the peace for 40 years
Will there be — will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years
But then H-bombs came along — sounded like thunder the weatherman was wrong
White dust flew across the shore — they’ve never seen
snow in the pacific before
Will there be — will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years
40 years (40 years) — 40 years (40 years)
40 years (40 years) — 40 years (40 years)
Will the song remain the same — will you keep on play
the game — so you can justify your carreers — will
there be a world in 40 years
Will there be — will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years
Will there be — will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years
(this tready is not the millenia — but it is an important
first step — a step towards peace a step towards reason
a step away from war)
The last point I find so strange — a theory of the limited nuclear SG
Forget the battle you won before — there aint no winners in a nuclear war
Will there be — will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years (40 years)
Way back in 45 — when the first atom bomb came alive
40 years (40 years) 40 years (40 years)
White dust flew across the shore — they’ve never seen
snow in the pacific before
40 years (40 years) 40 years (40 years)
(In these 40 years to many dreams have been shattered
— to many promises have been broken — to may lives have been lost)
