Every now and then
I've got to think again
Of times when life
Was easy like a game
Evera now and then
With nothing much
Left to retain
I know that it will
Never be the same
Nevermore the same

Since it burned
Burned down and never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
How will it ever stop
If all our house
Is built of nuclear bricks

Every now and then
I feel it again
My eyes look down
So paralized with shame
Every now and then
Some tears of fear
I can't restain
Could we have already lost the game?
'Cause it burned, burned down
And never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
How will we ever stop
Our boat that's driftin'
Downstream on the Styx

And it burned
Burned down and never stopped
Back then in April 1986
Still it burns
How will it ever stop
If we ignore
The bomb's increasin' tick
