Memories Of Tomorrow (Suicidal Tendencies Cover)
Slayer · Soundtrack To The Apocalypse [2003]
Trident missles in the air
MX missles underground
Protect us till we're dead
Chorus:
Memories of tomorrow
too late for sorrow
Push the button
Kiss good-bye the nuclear arsenal
A-bombs flying off their ramps
Nuclear bombs explode
Radio active people
Search for medicine
Pray for shelter
Kill for food
Chorus:
Memories of tomorrow
too late for sorrow
Mass starvation
Contaminated water
Destroyed cities
Mutilated bodies
Chorus:
Memories of tomorrow
too late for sorrow
I'll kill myself
I'd rather die
If you could see in the future
You'd know why
Memories of tomorrow
