lyrics
JERICHO'S CALL
(by John Benner, Jr.)
A gentle call was Jericho
Compared to the atomic flame
As Fat Man and Little Boy go -
As scientist and general dare
Compared to the atomic flame
Politicians' words spook more herds
As scientist and general dare
To make of our world potsherds.
Politician's words spook more herds -
A gentle call was Jericho
To make of our world potsherds
As Fat Man and Little Boy go.
(by John Benner, Jr.)

Politician's words spook more herds -
A gentle call was Jericho
To make of our world potsherds
As Fat Man and Little Boy go.
