[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.
