Story behind the song
I wrote this song back when Isreali's and Palestinians were fighting hard in 1980, and when Poland's Lech V shouted 'Solidarity' and when so many countries had so much in common - the availabilty of nulear war. Most was the cold war between Russia and the US running off my shouldiers and a childhood of watching dinner on tv trays watching diligently for any speck of viet nam footage that showed even where my cousin was in that warified land. we keep dropping bombs on people, and homes. the sudanese on darfur. the us on iraq and afghanistan. it's so complicated. that's what this song is all about.
Lyrics
Nucleites © 1980 Joyce M Davis. All rights reserved. (chorus) (Begin) Emj It just doesn’t seem as though the time is right Am7 For a territorial fire fight Emj Cause oil and atoms and nucleates Am7 (1)Are all that’ll give your men their might (2)could never make up for your loss of life (3)are all that’ll give your men their might Verse1 C D Em And what about destruction of your nations C D Em Your buildings and your back yards and excavations C D Em And people …total civilizations C D Em You’d have to compromise all moral considerations Chorus (2) Bridge C G And then you’d rationalize C G You’d have to tell some lies C G And it’d be no surprise Em That not a soul would cry Verse 2 Emj You’d never really live again Am7 You’d just be here or there or then Emj But maybe free your souls from life Am7 With the pain that’s become so contrite Chorus (3) End C G And then you’d rationalize C G You’d have to tell some lies C G And it’d be no surprise Em That not a soul would cry (hold cry trailing off)

Surely a good cover of your song.Well played and produced but it can`t compeed with your emotion-filled voice.
