Sammy Salvo - A Mushroom Cloud
Capo 1st
 I want to be hDmappy I want to be gay
 I want to be normal in every wAmay
 But a mDmushroom cloud hangs Amover my dreams
 It hGmaunts my future and thBbreatens my schemes
 PDmeace, peace, pAeace where did you gDmo?
 I've got me a swDmeetheart and I love her, too
 We want to make big plans but what can we dAmo?
 When a mDmushroom cloud has chAmanged every rule
 It's dGmeepened our thinking at Bbhome and at school
 PDmeace, peace, pAeace where did you gDmo?
 We prFayed, we partied, we laughed and we prDmayed again
 And we plFay it cool and try not to think of the mAess we're in
 I cling to my bDmaby and she clings to me
 We talk of the future, but what do we sAmee?
 There's a mDmushroom cloud that hAmangs in the way
 TomGmorrow looks black so we Bblive for today
 PDmeace, peace, pAeace where did you gDmo?
 PDmeace, peace, pAeace where did you gDmo?
