WORM - MInuteman
Lyrics:
Minuteman oh Minuteman
You're under the ground always ready to strike
A deadly blast to send them into the past
Back to caveman times

Your head down in the rock
In hardened steel with a nuclear nose
At the touch of a button you'd zoom away
To melt them into nuclear dust

They'd do the same to us
Face to face across the globe
ICBMs all primed and cocked
Showing military might

We'll sleep soundly tonight
Knowing we've got you by our side
A flock of sheep with an iron bite
By the road in the pasturelands

Instrumental

Minuteman oh Minuteman
You're under the ground always ready to strike
A deadly blast to send them into the past
Back to caveman times

We'll sleep soundly tonight
Knowing we've got you by our side
A flock of sheep with an iron bite
By the road in the pasturelands

Release notes
Joe's mom's tends a nearby underground nuclear missile called a Minuteman. Joe is worried about her.

He tells June a little about his background, then asks her to sing and play along here.

They're starting to blend their musical talents.

I like the dark and mischievous melody and the mix of guitar and piano. Cool bendy-guitar stuff as well.

Lovely chord progression and playing here.
What a dark bummer of a set of lyrics, tho.
Great approach; if someone asked me to write a song about nuclear death it would probably be just the obvious feedback and explosion noises.
Excellent tune, once again, buddy.
