about

One of the early political songs with upbeat danceable music put to it. Love the driving conga line.

lyrics

Oh Ay Oh

All of the world is so full of pollution
I don't see anywhere that we can go
The whole world is full of loves' dissolution
Nothin' more can be done, say it's not so

CHORUS Oh ay oh (oh ay oh)
Raise up your voices and shout out what's wrong
Oh ay oh (oh ay oh)
If we must cry, we'll cry singin' a song

Plutonium creators, the scientist soldier
Hasn't man done everything and much more
We've printed our feet on the surface of moonstone
But it's all forgotten in nuclear war

REPEAT CHORUS(first 3 lines)
If we must die, we'll die singin' a song


Let's kill war with peace, let's fight for tomorrow
Let's live on mountaintops being so free
Let's make a circle that cannot be broken
Singin' our hearts out to change destiny

REPEAT CHORUS(first 3 lines)
If we must fight, we'll fight singin' a song

REPEAT CHORUS(first 3 lines)
If we must fight, we'll fight singin' a song
If we must die, we'll die singin' a song
If we must cry, we'll cry singin' a song
