Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind Lyrics - Singles - Behind Enemy Lines

With the cold war now behind us we no longer live in fear 

Of a world on the brink of annihilation 

Where in a flash it could all disappear 

The forgotten nuclear stockpiles of military might 

Were never designed for use or destruction 

But to help us sleep at night 

What ever happened to our nuclear arms? 

They were only forgotten they weren't disarmed 

The threat has not been left behind 

They're just out of sight and out of mind 

The absence of a threat is another illusion 

To keep us all sedate 

So we won't reject but just accept 

When someone else controls our fate 

And from taking issue with the massive armaments 

And their outrageous cost 

And the possibility of nuclear war 

The whole world would have lost 

What ever happened to our nuclear arms? 

They were only forgotten they weren't disarmed 

The threat has not been left behind 

They're just out of sight and out of mind 

The ghosts of the past strongly suggest 

that our responsibility not be waived 

while the skeletons in our closet 

prove that we're depraved 

the insanity of the superpowers placed us in a race 

with an unavoidable finish that we're still condemned to face 

the threat of a nuclear holocaust will continue to persist 

as long as hatred is still alive and the weapons still exist 

we're no safer now than we ever were 

we're simply in denial 

in truth the reality of destruction 

has been with us all the while 

we're still faced with the doomsday scenario 

and it still is our concern 

will we ever face our responsibility 

or will humanity never learn 

What ever happened to our nuclear arms? 

They were only forgotten they weren't disarmed 

The threat has not been left behind 

They're just out of sight and out of mind
