A very different song also called 'Nuclear Toy' by Porcupine tree / Steven Wilson reflects the same post nuclear war scenario; possibly my favourite and most chilling PT/SW song 

It's called Radioactive Toy. Best song on their debut. Smile

 3 stars 2000: Tim Blake - The Tide of the Century - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nppWW9Pg78EksAva3HcLl13dnhNhCSa3U



Sarajevo (Remember?)

Well that old sound of war rings out
Once more, in the Balkans
In the place where the east and the west
Should have met with love

And the merchants of cannons grow fat
On all the profits
While the cries of the innocent drown
In the rivers of blood

Do you remember?
Ah Sarajevoooooo
No more Sarajevoooooos!

^ Can you please stop writing in all caps? It means aggression in net etiquette (I thought it was common knowledge).
