Forgotten Not Gone

growing up i used to worry about the day they dropped the bomb
blow up my house my dad and my mom
everyime the sky would turn a funny shade of green
i thought they'd drop the bomb on me
and then media told us not to worry anymore
that there wasn't any threat of a nuclear war
and everyone just forgot
everyone just forgot about it
everyime i thought about it i'd get real scared
and now i'm glad they told me not to care
what you got to keep in mind is that all those bombs are still there
i bet one day we'll find out why we were so scared.
