Cold War Reruns

Same flag waving on a different mast Same old future, same old past Telegraph turned into a tweet Same boots marching down the street

Generals talk about the line Same as nineteen sixty-nine Different uniform, same threat Different ocean, same regret

And the radio sings what it always sings The end of everything The end of everything

Cold war reruns on the screen Black and white in neon green Push the button, count to three Same old end of you and me

Children learn the duck-and-cover Like their grandmas, like their mothers Different beast in the same skin Same old way it all comes in

And the radio sings what it always sings The end of everything The end of everything

Cold war reruns on the screen Black and white in neon green Push the button, count to three Same old end of you and me

We never learned, we never will Build the bomb and pay the bill Hand it to a smiling man Hope to god he's got a plan

Cold war reruns on the screen Black and white in neon green Push the button, count to three Same old end of you and me Same old end of you and me
