Lyrics 40 Years (12" Edit) - Paul Hardcastle

Will there be - will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years

Way back in 45 - when the first atom bomb came alive

In no time they opened the door - more power than were ever seen before

Choose a city where thousands could die - show the
World what would happen if the atom bombs fly

Told the west you have no fear - this bomb will keep the peace for 40 years

Will there be - will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years

But then H-bombs came along - sounded like thunder the weatherman was wrong

White dust flew across the shore - they've never seen
Snow in the pacific before

Will there be - will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years

40 years (40 years) - 40 years (40 years)
40 years (40 years) - 40 years (40 years)

Will the song remain the same - will you keep on play
The game - so you can justify your carreers - will
There be a world in 40 years

Will there be - will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years

Will there be - will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years

(This tready is not the millenia - but it is an important
First step - a step towards peace a step towards reason
A step away from war)

The last point I find so strange - a theory of the limited nuclear SG
Forget the battle you won before - there aint no winners in a nuclear war

Will there be - will there be a world
Will there be a world in 40 years (40 years)

Way back in 45 - when the first atom bomb came alive
40 years (40 years) 40 years (40 years)

White dust flew across the shore - they've never seen
Snow in the pacific before
40 years (40 years) 40 years (40 years)

(In these 40 years to many dreams have been shattered
- To many promises have been broken - to may lives have been lost)
