[Verse 1]
Since nineteen forty-five the giants stayed apart
No world wars fought between the superpowers
The atom changed the game, rewrote the art
Of conflict, gave destruction godlike powers
Before the bomb, great nations clashed head-on
But now they know one strike could end it all
[Chorus]
Nuclear logic keeps the peace between the strong
Mutually assured destruction's song
But smaller states without the shield
Must bend and break or learn to yield
The atom splits the world in two
Protected few and vulnerable crew
[Verse 2]
Without the nuclear umbrella overhead
Small nations face a different kind of threat
No guarantee of safety in their bed
When bigger powers come to collect their debt
Lithuania stands behind NATO's wall
While Georgia learned what happens when you fall
[Chorus]
Nuclear logic keeps the peace between the strong
Mutually assured destruction's song
But smaller states without the shield
Must bend and break or learn to yield
The atom splits the world in two
Protected few and vulnerable crew
[Verse 3]
Ukraine gave up its warheads, trusted words
Now fights alone while others watch and wait
Taiwan's protection hangs on America's swords
While China calculates its island fate
Iran's enrichment program tells the tale
Of nations seeking nuclear holy grail
[Bridge]
The balance holds but barely
When red lines blur so rarely
Each crisis tests the theory
That fear keeps warfare weary
[Chorus]
Nuclear logic keeps the peace between the strong
Mutually assured destruction's song
But smaller states without the shield
Must bend and break or learn to yield
The atom splits the world in two
Protected few and vulnerable crew
[Outro]
The questions that we must explore
Why no great power makes world war
The weak states' fate without the bomb
And how nuclear logic guides the storm
