Last Voice – 25th January 1984

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

There’s a six-minute warning all over the land
Destruction of the country, it’s all been planned
A tape is playing now the councillors have gone
The last man’s voice that moans on and on

“Get to your bunker as quick as you can
You can build one now, you should have the plan
Whitewash the windows, it doesn’t cost much
And don’t worry…..we’ll be in touch”

A few minutes left til the blast explodes high above
There’s people out on the streets quickly making love
Now the bomb’s exploded and everyone has gone
But the last man’s voice drones on and on

Operation RYAN
At a secret meeting of top Soviet officials in May 1981, General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev condemned Reagan, whose aggressive rhetoric was decidedly anti-communist. Yuri Andropov, the head of the KGB and the future General Secretary, furthermore explained that the Reagan administration was preparing for a possible preemptive nuclear strike against the Soviet Union. Andropov announced that the KGB was launching an intelligence program, Operation RYAN, which was an acronym for Raketno-Yadernoe Napadenie, or “nuclear missile attack.”
