|
We were working secretly |
|
For the military |
|
Our experiment in sound |
|
Was nearly ready to begin |
|
We only know in theory what we are doing |
|
Music made for pleasure |
|
Music made to thrill |
|
It was music we were making here until |
|
They told us, all they wanted |
|
Was a sound that could kill someone |
|
From a distance, so we go ahead |
|
And the meters are over in the red |
|
It's a mistake in the making |
|
From the painful cries of mothers |
|
To the terrifying scream |
|
We recorded it and put it into our machine |
|
Then they told us, all they wanted |
|
Was a sound that could kill someone |
|
From a distance, so we go ahead |
|
And the meters are over in the red |
|
It's a mistake in the making |
|
It could feel like falling in love |
|
It could feel so bad |
|
But it could feel so good |
|
It could sing you to sleep |
|
I'll bet my mum's gonna give me |
|
A little toy instrument |
|
But that dream is your enemy |
|
We won't be there to be blamed |
|
We won't be there to snitch |
|
I just pray that someone there |
|
Can hit the switch |
|
But they told us, all they wanted |
|
Was a sound that could kill someone |
|
From a distance, so we go ahead |
|
And the meters are over in the red |
|
It's a mistake we've made |
|
And the public are warned to stay off |
