Under The Gun Lyrics - Cliff Richard

Looking at baby's face I saw the plight of the 

human race 

Dying to survive 

Shaken by the irony the anger rose inside of me 

And would not, would not subside 

I thought you're too young to understand 

That the fate of every mortal man 

Rests in someone's mortal hand tonight 

In the nuclear insanity there's a death watch 

on the land and sea 

And I believe that we may never live our lives

We were born under the gun and just like 

every mother's son 

We are hostage to the megaton and the world 

could die tonight 

Under the gun, we live in fear that the end 

will come 

But there's one place to run 

Run to the Son 

Everyone can see that the hour is late 

And every soul on Earth got to demonstrate 

Their loving if we're to survive 

'Cos we're tired of living on the brink 

Scared to death that our ship will sink 

At the winking of an eye 

This course we're on's a big mistake 

Photos 

'Cos we all lose in the nuclear race 

It's time to show all the heads of state that we 

believe 

Yes we believe that we're fighting for our lives 

We were born under the gun and just like 

every mother's son 

We are hostage to the megaton and the world 

could die tonight 

Under the gun, we live in fear that the end 

will come 

But there's one place to run 

Run to the Son 

There's a finger on the button but if it's 

pressed we're not forgotten 

Millions speak, feel no fear 

The mood to change is in ascendance here 

There's a finger on the button but if it's 

pressed we're not forgotten 

Millions speak, feel no fear 

The mood to change is in ascendance here 

There's a finger on the button but if it's 

pressed we're not forgotten 

There's a finger on the button but if it's 

pressed we're not forgotten
