Lyrics for Times Of Crisis by Chumbawamba:
| | | Artist: | Chumbawamba |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Times Of Crisis | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 100 | | | | Lyrics: | It gets worse... the earth, if looked after properly, has an estimated lifespan of another four
billion years, but in 1983 there were two false alarms of impending nuclear war every three days.
Say that such alarms are normal, and present no problem provided they can be identified as false
alarms. i said in 1983 there were two false alarms of impending nuclear war, every three days, but
in times of crisis with weapons systems already on the alert, there is less than eight minutes to
decide whether an attack is underway or not. and there are over forty conventional wars going on in
the world today. times of crisis, you might say. they say that waiting longer than eight minutes
would risk a surprise attack, and a loss of command and control. in the trade this is called the
"use them or lose them" problem, which translated means, if he's gonna hit you, make sure
you hit him first. looking at it another way, a single american strategic submarine carries about
160 warheads, enough to eliminate every soviet ci
Ty of over 200,000 people. of course a soviet submarine could do the same to america. the nuclear
weapons powers operate about a hundred such submaries and on average there are over forty at sea at
any one time. a conspiracy of two men, a submarine commander and his radioman, could pretend to have
received orders from above, and launch a nuclear missile without actually having received those
orders. in 1983 there were two false alarms of impending nuclear war every three days. in 1983
thatcher was re-elected by her sleeping people. in 1984 reagan was re-elected by his sleeping
people. in 1985...
...to determine their destiny... ...let us move to a world in which all people are at last free to
determine their own destiny... | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
