lyrics
Born to a world of sorrow and pain
Born to a time of so much disdain
For those who find joy in the eyes of a child
And beauty in light, and calmness of mind
(Chorus)
So, bombs bomb away
And kill another man
No thought of the cost
Rebuilding the land
So, bombs bomb away
And kill some mother’s son
Make sure to send a note
Of how we had won
So, bombs bomb away
Bombs bomb away
Blow them to dust
Bombs bomb away
Why do you think you must?
Imagine a time of purity and peace
Of body and mind, of land and sea
But history has told of no such tale:
“The gods did war with the demons in the air”
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
A religion of man, if only we could see
A life of hope and eternity
No more war, no pain, no grief
Transcending this shell, ascending to peace
Repeat Chorus
Born to a time of so much disdain
For those who find joy in the eyes of a child
And beauty in light, and calmness of mind
(Chorus)
So, bombs bomb away
And kill another man
No thought of the cost
Rebuilding the land
So, bombs bomb away
And kill some mother’s son
Make sure to send a note
Of how we had won
So, bombs bomb away
Bombs bomb away
Blow them to dust
Bombs bomb away
Why do you think you must?
Imagine a time of purity and peace
Of body and mind, of land and sea
But history has told of no such tale:
“The gods did war with the demons in the air”
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
A religion of man, if only we could see
A life of hope and eternity
No more war, no pain, no grief
Transcending this shell, ascending to peace
Repeat Chorus

Masana Temples
by Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様supported by 13 fans who also own “Bombs Bomb Away”
Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem!

Been a huge fan of bands like the Warlocks, BJT, dolly rocker movement…etc… really glad to have found these guys. Been playing this album non stop for days now and can’t think of any better way to be spending my time.
