Trident Song (Leon Rosselson)

Chorus: Trident, Trident, money down the drain,
It can kill all living creatures and then kill them all again.
It’s time we got together and it’s time we made a fuss,
So that we can bury Trident before it buries us.

Verse 1: Who are you trying to target, who are you going to kill?
Who are you deterring? Tell us if you will.
Does it make you feel like Tarzan? Do you get a manly thrill?
While we poor bloody suckers are picking up the bill.

Trident, Trident…..

Verse 2: Tony Blair’s our leader, a fellow you can trust;
He’s got his finger on the button and he’ll press it if he must.
The enemy will do the same and we’ll have to adjust,
To being tiny particles of patriotic dust.

Trident, Trident…..

Verse 3: You’re against proliferation but everything you do,
Is an open invitation to join the nuclear queue.
There’s Israel and India and Pakistan too,
Soon everyone will want to have as big a bomb as you.

Trident, Trident…..
