J Randall Murphy – No Time To Run lyrics
When they come - no time to run
No time to run - when they come
When they come - nothing to fight for
Only to die for - and no time to run

You will hear the sirens scream
You may think that it's just a dream
First comes the fire and then comes the rain
There will be no time to feel the pain
There will be no time for you to explain
Just how this world got so damned insane

See the reflection in your child's eye
What's that coming down from the sky
Nothing my little one just hold on tight
It means it's time to say goodnight

    Somewhat synchronistically, the first performances of the song coincide with the release of the movie Terminator 2 Judgement Day, which contains a disturbing and scientifically researched portrayal of a nuclear detonation over the city of Los Angeles USA. What's more, the scene is set in a children's playground. See the last verse of the lyric sheet for the relevance there.

    Fast forward 26 years to when the studio version was being recorded, and we find President Trump pulling out of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty with Russia and Los Alamos gearing-up for renewed nuclear weapons production. A Russian missile testing facility also blew-up causing several radioactivity monitoring stations to go offline, and the Doomsday Clock was closer to midnight that it had been since the peak of the Cold War. Yes folks, this was all happening in August 2019. To top it off, Terminator Dark Fate was then released in November.
