It was on a summer's day
I saw the children playin'
Birds were singing to the sun
They were all havin' so much fun
And suddenly the children began to run
The birds all flew away
I heard them screamin' like rockets in the sky
Rockets in the sky

You like those video games
Where you defend your cities
You always shoot and you destroy
It must be heaven and hell, oh it's such a pity
That you can't play this game for real

Rockets crossing over the ocean
Rockets flying over the sky
Rockets crossing over the ocean
Rockets flying over the sky

More bombs, more battles, more wars
They flood our homes and countries
No doubt we're gonna blow out the world
Calm down and think of it
We must prevent this madness
But every day we hear and see

Rockets crossing over the ocean
Rockets flying over the sky
Rockets crossing over the ocean
Rockets flying over the sky

No rockets, no war, no rockets anymore
No rockets, no war, no rockets anymore

Rockets crossing over the ocean
Rockets flying over the sky
Rockets crossing over the ocean
Rockets flying over the sky
