It was a day or so ago I saw him run into the night
And on his face, more than a trace of wild fear in the eye
He was haunted by a tragic dream
of people in death machines
And he did not know which side he was on,
and he hated being in between

Bombs away, bombs away
Sign of the times -- watch where you're going
Bombs away, bombs away
What will you do -- see you if I free you
Bombs away, bombs away
Into the night -- feel the fear
Bombs away, bombs away
Do you know your left from your right?

He's tired of the lies, he's tired of the truth
They never give him what they say
He's tired of the fight, he's tired of the truce,
the blackmail of judgement day
He believes in a magic wave
that rolls on the sea of time,
that can touch every single human soul
if they could recognize it when it came, too late

Bombs away, bombs away
Sign of the times -- watch where you're going
Bombs away, bombs away
What will you do -- see you if I free you
Bombs away, bombs away
Into the night -- feel the fear
Bombs away, bombs away
Do you know your left from your right
