What do you think they did with all the Minuteman Missiles Did they come take them at night when we all were asleep Who's gonna get rid of all this Canadian Thistle Who's gonna make sure the prairie is free of the weeds Up above the planes are dropping Chemicals to stop the growing Down below the roots are fighting To survive, they're colonizing Why do you think we need so many Minuteman Missiles Why did they bury them deep in the heart of the land Will the letters ever reach the elected officials There isn't much we can do but we do what we can Sweep the atmosphere with radar Destroy all the space invaders Blow them up over the ocean Usher in the age of Roaches Hide inside the tiny shelter Eat the sardines and the peaches Wait until the world stops glowing Welcome to the new beginning Oh, up above the planes are dropping Oh, up above the plains Oh, up above the planes are dropping Oh, up above the plains Why do you think we need so many Minuteman Missiles Why did they bury them deep in the heart of the land
