Hiroshima Nagasaki Russian Roulette (Live) - Christy Moore[00:00:03]
They dropped the bomb in '45 to end the world war [00:00:19]
No-one had ever seen such a terrible sight before [00:00:24]
The world looked on with eyes wide to see where it might lead [00:00:28]
The politics of power they passed around their seed [00:00:33]
It was a time to remember we never can forget [00:00:37]
They were playin' Hiroshima Nagasaki Russian Roulette [00:00:41]
They arose like the saviours of our modern human race [00:00:51]
With radiation haloes that hung about their face [00:00:56]
With the key to the sure-cure the treatment of our ills [00:01:00]
A hot-shot of cobalt and a pocket-full of pills [00:01:05]
Speaking always of the enemy who lurked across the sea [00:01:09]
While they crept in among us like a carrier disease [00:01:14]
Deep down inside the bunkers of the concrete and the lead [00:01:24]
Einstein's disciples working steadily ahead [00:01:28]
Making heavy metal power-plants to fire the city lights [00:01:32]
All you can hear in the underground is the humming through the night [00:01:37]
And the walls of tight security circle all around [00:01:41]
Where they spill out their poison and bury it in the ground [00:01:45]
Holed up in the harbours hidden secretly away [00:01:55]
War-heads and submarines await to make their play [00:02:00]
The military masterminds improve on their design [00:02:04]
The soldiers get all doped up and stumble through the lines [00:02:08]
While the spills into the rivers get carried out by the tide [00:02:13]
They call this security I call it suicied[00:02:18]
Our statesmen and leaders and politicians pay [00:02:31]
Quick to heed the hand that feeds they're careful what they say [00:02:36]
They call out experts to assure us to wave their magic wands [00:02:40]
This is the power of the future And the future marches on [00:02:45]
And they call in their favours all their political gains [00:02:49]
While the spills fill the rivers and settle in the plains [00:02:54]
I know the minds behind them they are riddled full of holes [00:03:03]
Not to be trusted with their hands at the controls [00:03:09]
Their eyesight it is twisted by the glory of their careers [00:03:12]
The heaped praise and flattery is music to their ears [00:03:17]
To listen to them talk about how it hasn't happened yet's [00:03:21]
Like playing Hiroshima Nagasaki Russian Roulette [00:03:25]
Hiroshima Nagasaki Russian Roulette [00:03:31]
