The solution to peace isn't clear. The terrorist threat is a modern fear. There are no jobs for the young. They turn to crime and turn to drugs. Battle ships crowd the sea. 16 year olds in the army. Our jails are filled to the max. Discrimination against the blacks. Chorus. Planet earth nineteen eighty-eight. Planet earth nineteen eighty-eight. It's too late it's too late it's too late. Russians and Americans war machine. Will destroy mankind's dream. They shoot their missiles in the air. They do not care they do not care. Guerrilla armies rule the street. No more christmas or trick or treat. Is this what the future will bring. I pray for peace more than anything. Chorus. The solution to peace isn't clear. The terrorists threat is a modern fear. There is no future for the youth. There is no hope for the young. Death destruction bombs galore. The rich are laughing at the poor. Our jails are filled to the max. Discrimination against the blacks. Chorus
