    They say the sky used to be blue I don't quite believe it
    It's probably always been the color that it is
    And there were cotton candy clouds and birds to fly through it
    Just stories we all love to tell our kids
    So I'll close my electronic door and keep the cold outside
    Hug my aluminium pillow so tight
    And pray the radiation doesn't make me sick tonight
    There used to be a wind wasn't caused by fans
    I wonder how it would of felt in my hair
    And the nuclear ring around the moon was caused by man
    If it was then it's much to late to care
    So I'll put my saftey goggles and gaze out at the sun
    The artificial atmosphere machines give off a constant hum
    In a world thats cold and peaceful April 2031
    No more sky and no more trees
    (April 2031)
    No more oxygen to breathe
    (April 2031)
    No more hate and no more war
    (April 2031)
    Nothing left worth fighting for 2031
    As far back as Vietnam we should of learned our lesson
    But we closed our eyes and sent our son's away
    And they told us we were winning as they sold more ammunition
    Some were angry most just looked the other way
    Ohh, nights illuminated by the endless glowing sand
    That swallowed all the oceans and choked off all the land
    In a world beyond resuscitation even by God's hand
    No more moutains no more sea
    (April 2031)
    No more you and no more me
    (April 2031)
    No more music no more songs
    (April 2031)
    No God left to blame it on
    (April 2031)
    No more children playing April 2031
    No more need for praying April 2031
    No more children playing April 2031
