Lyrics

They say the sky used to be blue
I don't quite believe it
It's probably always been
The color that it is
And there were cotton candy clouds
And birds to fly through it
Just stories we all love to tell our kids

So I'll close my electronic door
And keep the cold outside
And hug my aluminium pillow so tight
And pray the radiation
Doesn't make me sick tonight

No more sky and no more trees
April 2031
No more oxygen to breathe
April 2031
No more hate and no more war
April 2031
Nothing left worth fighting for
April 2031

They say there used to be a wind
That wasn't caused by fans
I wonder how it would have felt in my hair
And the nuclear ring
Around the moon was caused by man
If it was, then it's much too late to care

So I'll put my safety goggles on
And gaze out at the sun
As the artificial atmostphere machines
Give off a constant hum
In a world that's cold and peaceful, april 2031

No more sky and no more trees
April 2031
No more oxygen to breathe
April 2031
No more hate and no more war
April 2031
Nothing left worth fighting for
April 2031

As far back as veitnam
We should have learned our lesson
But we closed our eyes
And sent our sons away
And they told us we were winning
As they sold more ammunition
Some were angry
Most just looked the other way

And the night's illuminated
By the endless glowing sand
That swallowed all the oceans
And choked off all the land
In a world beyond resuscitation
Even by god's hand

No more mountains no more sea
April 2031
No more you and no more me
April 2031
No more music no more songs
April 2031
No god left to blame it on
April 2031

No more children playing
April 2031
No more need for praying
April 2030 one
