The Great Unknown - Dar Williams[00:00:00]

Once upon a time[00:00:10]

There was a nuclear family[00:00:11]

And we lived in a family time [00:00:13]

We'd unite in a family way[00:00:16]

And off the ancient mountain [00:00:20]

They were splitting every nucleus[00:00:23]

But they said "Don't be alarmed"[00:00:25]

They said "Just don't try this at home"[00:00:28]

And they were the mystery[00:00:31]

That made the world run[00:00:32]

And we had the power cause[00:00:33]

They were the sun[00:00:35]

And we called them our heroes[00:00:36]

And the future had come[00:00:37]

They said [00:00:39]

"Look at the light we're giving you[00:00:39]

And the darkness[00:00:41]

That we're saving you from"[00:00:42]

And soon they were bringing[00:00:44]

It into our showrooms[00:00:46]

And they'd unveil it with it's title[00:00:49]

'Bring your family [00:00:51]

Bring your family [00:00:53]

It's the great unknown'[00:00:54]

You can look but you can't fathom [00:00:57]

It's the great unknown[00:00:59]

I'm no ordinary princess [00:01:07]

I was born in the cold war[00:01:10]

And my team is the Rockets [00:01:12]

Go team it's a dangerous time[00:01:15]

And I dream of the moon[00:01:19]

And building lunar clone colonies[00:01:21]

And I build my peace through strength[00:01:24]

That's the best weapon you've got[00:01:27]

Oh I am the brainchild [00:01:29]

I am the mortar[00:01:31]

With a plastic trophy[00:01:33]

And an eating disorder[00:01:33]

And a vision as big as a great big wall[00:01:35]

And they tell me[00:01:37]

That I'll move forward for the good of us all[00:01:38]

And for the good of nuclear families all[00:01:42]

And they think I think I am important[00:01:46]

I know I never was [00:01:50]

I wasn't[00:01:52]

No I never and how could I be [00:01:53]

It's the great unknown[00:01:57]

Now we've built it [00:01:59]

Now it's ticking it's the great unknown[00:02:01]

And I am your children [00:02:08]

And I am millions[00:02:11]

And I wanted to sell out [00:02:13]

I wanted to try[00:02:15]

But you know that the sky got too low[00:02:16]

And the ocean got too high[00:02:18]

And I [00:02:19]

I had to take God into my own hands[00:02:20]

Am I too late [00:02:24]

Is it over [00:02:26]

Have I sacrificed my family[00:02:27]

To the great unknown [00:02:30]

There's a war between my conscience[00:02:32]

And the great unknown[00:02:35]

So I walked out into the Gamma[00:02:49]

Fields out in Mercury Nevada[00:02:51]

Where I stood in a circle[00:02:54]

And that circle started to pray[00:02:56]

And now the wind at the nuclear test sights[00:03:00]

Floats the data at the radiation [00:03:03]

From the underground testing[00:03:06]

Cross the line you'll get arrested[00:03:08]

And we came from all over in a silent appeal[00:03:11]

As the drill comes down[00:03:14]

Like a presidential seal[00:03:15]

And we stand for the living[00:03:17]

And we stand for the dead[00:03:18]

And we looked out to see your enemies[00:03:19]

And we see that you're looking[00:03:21]

All at us instead[00:03:23]

You think I am being disruptive [00:03:25]

But no I'm running home [00:03:29]

I'm running[00:03:31]

Cause I'm trying to put[00:03:32]

The atom back together [00:03:33]

It's the great unknown[00:03:37]

I'm just trying to put[00:03:40]

The atom back together [00:03:41]

It's the great unknown[00:03:45]
