It was the bluest of August skies
When they finally sent the bombs
On the first day of the end of the world
It was a bang after all
We must a**ume there were an anxious few
Who clearly saw the signs
But for the bulk of the human race
It really came as a surprise
From the bluest sky
No cloud in sight
No screams, dead bees
Just a clear blue sky
For the sake of human history
Let's stop the clock and freeze the frame
And we can see our final moments
In all the beauty and the shame
A million cars buzzing home from work
A thousand kids running out to play
And all while hanging in the air
Are the drops of a deadly rain
From the bluest sky
No long goodbye
No plague, big wave
Just a clear blue sky
There was a man sitting on a plane
Drinking scotch from a plastic cup
And he was reading about ancient Rome
And the lead in their aqueducts
As he looked out the window there
He saw a warhead swimming by
He looked again and blinked his eyes
But all he saw was the bluest sky
It'll be the bluest sky
On the day we die
No drought before the fallout
Just a clear blue sky
Just a clear blue sky
