Thank God for the Bomb
Ozzy Lyrics

Like moths to a flame
Humans are drawn to conflict and destruction in a way similar to insects being drawn to light.

Is man never gonna change
Despite the prevalence of war and suffering throughout history, humans do not seem to be able to change their ways.

Time's seen untold aggression
Throughout human history, there have been countless acts of violence and aggression.

And infliction of pain
These acts of aggression have been responsible for causing suffering and pain to countless individuals.

If that's the only thing that's Stopping war Then thank god for the bomb
If the fear of mutually assured destruction is the only thing that prevents nations from going to war, then we should be grateful for the existence of nuclear weapons.

Nuke ya nuke ya
This phrase serves as a sort of angry, sarcastic refrain.

War is just another game
To those who have never experienced it, war may seem like nothing more than a violent game.

Tailor made for the insane
Only those who are mentally unstable or corrupt could possibly see war as a desirable or acceptable option.

But make a threat of their Annihilation And nobody wants to play
However, if a nation's survival is threatened, most people will recognize the stakes and avoid conflict.

If that's the only thing that Keeps the peace Then thank god for the bomb
If the knowledge that nuclear weapons exist is what keeps nations from going to war and killing each other, then they serve a valuable purpose.

Today was tomorrow Yesterday It's funny how the time can slip Away
It is easy to lose track of time and forget how quickly it passes.

The face of the doomsday Clock Has launched a thousand wars
The knowledge that death and destruction are inevitable can inspire fear, paranoia, and conflict.

As we near the final hour Time is the only foe we have
As we approach the end of our lives or of humanity itself, time becomes the only real enemy that we face.

When war is obsolete I'll thank god for the war's To end
If humanity ever reaches a point where war is no longer necessary or acceptable, we will be able to thank the wars that were fought to bring about this change.

But any talk about hell Freezing over Is all said with tongue in cheek
Expressions of doubt or skepticism about the possibility of a future without war should not be taken seriously.

Until the day the war drums Beat no more Then thank god for the bomb
As long as the risk of war and violence exists, we must be grateful that nuclear weapons exist as a deterrent.

Nuke ya nuke ya
This phrase serves as a sort of angry, sarcastic refrain.
