Don’t Drop That Bomb on Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We sailed our ships upon the shores that once were out of reach
Turned the silence into war and bloodied up the beach
Trashed the forests and the trees 'til there's nothin' left to cut
We raped the rivers and the seas and turned the land to dust
It goes on and on
On and on, yeah

[Verse 2]
Does anybody know what's goin' on?
Can anybody tell me where we went wrong?
Can anyone say why wrong is right?
If we wanna little peace, well, we got to fight, yeah
Can anyone say things are lookin' good?
Just take a look around your neighborhood
The world's gone crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
(Crash) We can fight it
(Crash) We gotta try
(Crash) We can't hide it
We gotta stop that fire

[Chorus]
Don't drop that bomb on me
Save that little tree
Don't drop that bomb on me
Save our seven seas
Don't drop it, don't drop it
Don't drop that bomb on me
[Verse 3]
Should every little thing have a life to give?
Will every little child have a place to live? Yeah
Does anybody feel just a little bit scared?
Isn't it about time everybody cared?
The world's gone crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
(Crash) We can fight it
(Crash) We gotta try
(Crash) We can't hide it
We gotta stop that fire

[Chorus]
Don't drop that bomb on me
Save that little tree
Don't drop that bomb on me
Save our seven seas
Don't drop it, don't drop it
Don't drop that bomb on me

[Bridge]
If you're gonna talk that talk
You gotta walk that walk
If you're gonna fly that flag
Ooh, you gotta shake a leg
Yeah, everybody should try
'Cause we're much too young to die
[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
Yeah, yeah, don't drop that bomb on me

[Chorus]
(Don't drop that bomb on me)
Gotta save that little tree, don't drop it
(Don't drop that bomb on me)
Gotta save the seven seas, don't drop it
(Don't drop it) Don't drop it (Don't drop it)
Don't drop it, oh, don't drop it on me
(Don't drop that bomb on me)
We gotta save that little tree, yeah
(Don't drop that bomb on me)
You gotta save the seven seas, well don't drop it
(Don't drop it) Don't drop it (Don't drop it)
Well, don't drop that bomb on me, yeah

[Outro]
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
(We gotta save that little tree)
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
