G.S.O. Lyrics

WW III, WW III, WW III, don't you bloody see? WW III

Preventive measures have been taken, it'll really help against Nuclear rapin
Efforts to prevent the use of nuclear weapons have been put in place to protect against unprecedented levels of destruction.

No streets, no people, left on the land, the policy ran out on our plan
The aftermath of the war would bring about a devastation so great that it would render the policies put in place useless.

World war, lotsa fun People in a panic, on the run World war, lotsa fun White House is aimin the gun
The song, using a sarcastic tone, highlights the irony of people being in panic and the governments still continuing to aim at each other.

The kremlin's aimin the gun

We're pawns in the middle, sittin ducks with no acquittal They're gonna make us fight, protectin oil is our right
Individuals are caught in the middle of the war, they’re helpless and have no choice but to fight. The war is fought over resources like oil, implying how it is seen as a right by some.

Unlock them now on the flag deck, Soviet bombers you're gonna net It's breakin up the Richter scale, bombs away, they're gonna sail

No human lives stand in the way, cause we're on our way to a new clear day
The war promises to lead to a dystopian future where humanity's existence is at the mercy of the prevalent powers.

I really don't want to die, World War III With A-bombs droppin from the sky, World War III Don't give me your reasons why, World War III Just know I don't want to die, World War III
The lyrics are a cry to avoid death and the horrid experiences that come along with a nuclear war.

Give'em any chance they're gonna take it, give'em any rules they're gonna Break it It really ain't no riddle, I just know it ain't gonna be little
Those with power will always take advantage of it and resort to extreme measures when necessary, even if it means breaking rules and regulations.

The lyrics depict the despair and helplessness that individuals feel in such a situation where the decisions are out of their control.

World War III, World War III, World War III, World War III
