"The Earth Dies Screaming" by UB40 (1980)

A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence, 
The highways quiet scars across the land. 
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming, 
The earth dies screaming. 

Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting, 
Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand. 
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding, 
The earth dies screaming. 

The earth dies screaming 
The earth dies screaming 
Your country needs you, 
lets strike up the band. 
The earth dies screaming 
The earth dies screaming 

Despite all odds we must defend our land.
Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables, 
Money clutched within a boney hand. 
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving, 
The earth dies screaming.

A post-apocalyptic song after a nuclear holocaust. The title was inspired by an ols sci-fi movie in 60s but it was about an allien invasion. You can hear this song in youtube
