| [00:18.40] |
They dropped the bomb in '45 to end the world war, |
| [00:23.55] |
No-one had ever seen such a terrible sight before, |
| [00:27.65] |
The world looked on with eyes wide to see where it might lead, |
| [00:32.30] |
The politics of power, they passed around their seed, |
| [00:36.20] |
It was a time to remember, we never can forget, |
| [00:41.30] |
They were playin' Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette. |
| [00:50.60] |
They arose like the saviours of our modern human race, |
| [00:55.04] |
With radiation haloes, that hung about their face, |
| [00:59.50] |
With the key to the sure-cure, the treatment of our ills, |
| [01:04.31] |
A hot-shot of cobalt, and a pocket-full of pills, |
| [01:08.60] |
Speaking always of the enemy, who lurked across the sea, |
| [01:13.15] |
While they crept in among us like a carrier disease. |
| [01:22.70] |
Deep down inside the bunkers of the concrete and the lead, |
| [01:27.70] |
Einstein's disciples working steadily ahead, |
| [01:31.70] |
Making heavy metal power-plants to fire the city lights, |
| [01:36.24] |
All you can hear in the underground is the humming through the night, |
| [01:40.30] |
And the walls of tight security, circle all around, |
| [01:44.60] |
Where they spill out their poison and bury it in the ground. |
| [01:55.20] |
Holed up in the harbours hidden secretly away, |
| [01:59.60] |
War-heads and submarines await to make their play, |
| [02:03.20] |
The military masterminds improve on their design, |
| [02:08.20] |
The soldiers get all doped up and stumble through the lines, |
| [02:12.36] |
While the spills into the rivers get carried out by the tide, |
| [02:17.00] |
They call this security I call it suicide. |
| [02:31.00] |
Our statesmen and leaders and politicians pay, |
| [02:35.80] |
Quick to heed the hand that feeds, they're careful what they say, |
| [02:40.10] |
They call out experts to assure us, to wave their magic wands, |
| [02:44.63] |
This is the power of the future, And the future marches on, |
| [02:48.69] |
And they call in their favours, all their political gains, |
| [02:53.34] |
While the spills fill the rivers and settle in the plains. |
| [03:03.10] |
I know the minds behind them, they are riddled full of holes, |
| [03:08.02] |
Not to be trusted with their hands been controls, |
| [03:12.20] |
Their eyesight it is twisted by the glory of their careers, |
| [03:16.57] |
The heaped praise and flattery is music to their ears, |
| [03:20.96] |
To listen to them talk about how it hasn't happened yet's, |
| [03:25.10] |
Like playing Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette. |
| [03:30.05] |
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette. |
| [03:34.47] |
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette. |
