Queen - "Hammer To Fall"

For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder
What the hell we fighting for
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You've just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting for the Hammer To Fall.

 
Going slightly less well known, but one of my favorites...Planet P - Letter From a Shelter

Highlighting not mine...

 
Well we'd all go downTo our caverns undergroundAnd in our backyard cavesWe'd hear the sirens soundAnd we took it very wellWhen then black rains fellWhen the dust came down around usWe were safe and soundIt was baby needs shoesThe pta and barbequesAnd it was two-handed touch
Out on the white house lawnAnd we were nobody's foolsFillin' in the swimming poolsWe poured concrete and steelWhen the neighbours had goneNow we all live here togetherYes we all live here as oneNow we all share the comfortsOf a hole in the groundAnd we all remember livin' in the sunHere in the shelterWe heard nuclear freezeWe heard first-strike strategiesWe heard how to pay the taxmanWhen the big one fallsWe heard good guys and bad guysWe heard little lies and big liesAbout who comes out the winnersAnd it's not that bad at allWhen a madman gets a gunHe's gonna point it at someoneIf it's up in texas towerOr over there across the pondAnd if you step on his prideOr if he hurts somewhere insideHe might let one flyWhen his nerves are goneNow we all live here togetherYes we all live here as oneNow we all share the comfortsOf a hole in the groundAnd we all remember livin' in the sunHere in the shelter
