Cold War Nosgtalgia (demo)

from Compact Cargo by Tinnitis

/

about

Early Tinnitis recording made without the use of digital or multitrack technology. The song was recorded directly onto cassette tape in MC Tourette's dining room in 2005. There is a dynamic change in the middle of the song as the tape's physical quality changes at that point. The official version of this song is filled with Ronald Reagan samples.

This song was posted to BandCamp on February 7, 2017, the day after Ronald Reagan's 106th birthday.

lyrics

One, two, three and four
I miss the threat of global war
DEFCON four, three, two and one
Where have all the missiles gone?
No one can threaten like the Russians could
I long for the day when again they would

I miss the threat of nuclear war
Back in the decade of fun
And my life has become such a big bore
Since they've taken away my gun

Gorby gave in and tore down the wall
Replaced it with a shopping mall
Capitalism works everywhere that it's tried
But won't life be dull when the world's on our side?
Take me from this Hades back to the 1980s
The age of Ronald Reagan and neon-wearing ladies

I miss the threat of nuclear war
Back in the decade of fun
And my life has become such a big bore
Since they've taken away my gun
I miss the threat of nuclear war
Back in the decade of fun

DEFCON five, four and three
All the world's an atomic spree
Help me Mr. Time Machine, I long for the day
When the apocalypse was just a finger away
Take me from this Hades back to the 1980s
When life was one big party with my sexy neon ladies

I miss the threat of nuclear war
Back in the decade of fun
And my life has become such a big bore
Since they've taken away my gun
I miss the threat of nuclear war
Back in the decade of fun
And my life has become such a big bore
Since they've taken away my gun
