Gerry DempseySome Misgivings (May 12, 2005)

A new song composed and performed by Gerry Dempsey. About life after the bomb drops.

Lyrics

Some Misgivings

My name is Harry, Dick or Tom.
Somebody put me in control of the Bomb.
I just sit by the phone and wait for the call
So I can press the button and blow us all
To Kingdom Come.

Oh bury me in six feet of lead.
I may be cold but I won't be dead.
I'll be radiating poison into the atmosphere,
Killing every living thing -
In the northern hemisphere.

I didn't mind about the millions dead.
I was more concerned about my standard of living
But when the TV packed in and the lights went dead,
I began to get - some misgivings.

There's something nice about a mushroom cloud.
Especially when you're tired of being one of the crowd
No more football fans. No more shopping queues.
It's back to nature - for the lucky few.

But where is nature? It can't be found.
When everybody left is living underground.
Waiting for the fall-out to fall on them
Waiting for the credits and the caption saying "The End".

I didn't mind about the millions dead.
I was more concerned about my standard of living
But when the TV packed in and the lights went dead,
I began to get - some misgivings.
