Lame Duck Arsenal Lyrics

LAME DUCK ARSENALit's been a long eight yearsand still no end in sightto the paranoia and stagnationour worst fears taking flightover the atlanticin the frozen darkness before dawnand they never saw it comingso now our protagonist is goneand still we never question whyand when we do there's no replyfrom the ones who have it allan outdated necessityto keep our country freetoo bad we're fresh out of enemiessee how we look down our noses at other nationswho try to keep their best for lastwhile we've got silos full of the good stuffwhose usefullness has passedwith a hearty handshake and a gun to the domewe'll get NATO to condoneour peacekeeping missions of cold war nostalgiawith nuclear back-upwill it ever end?this thermonuclear nightmaredisarm nowwhat will it take?to wrest the power and control from the hands of a jaded fewbittercold warriorsand overzealous situation-room patriotsmight take it into his own handsto rekindle that old flame
