Christy Moore - Hiroshima nagasaki russian roulette

^EmThey dropped the bomb in '^C45 to end the ^Dworld ^Emwar, ^CNo-one had ^Dever seen such a ^Emterrible sight before, The ^Cworld looked on with ^Deyes wide to ^Emsee where it might lead, The ^Cpolitics of ^Dpower, they ^Empassed around their seed, It was a ^Dtime to remember, we never can forget, They were playin' ^EmHiroshima, ^CNagasaki, ^DRussian ^EmRoulette.

^EmThey arose like the ^Csaviours of our ^Dmodern human ^Emrace, With ^Cradiation ^Dhaloes, that ^Emhung about their face, With the ^Ckey to the ^Dsure-cure, the ^Emtreatment of our ills, ^CA hot-shot of ^Dcobalt, and a ^Empocket-full of pills, Speaking ^Dalways of the enemy, who lurked across the sea, While they ^Emcrept in ^Camong us like a ^Dcarrier ^Emdisease.

^EmDeep down in the ^Cbunkers of the ^Dconcrete and the ^Emlead, ^CEinstein's ^Ddisciples working ^Emsteadily ahead, Making ^Cheavy metal ^Dpower-plants to ^Emfire the city lights, ^CAll you can hear in the ^Dunderground is the ^Emhumming through the night, And the ^Dwalls of tight security, circle all around, Where they ^Emspill out their ^Cpoison and ^Dbury it in the ^Emground.

^EmHoled up in the ^Charbours hidden ^Dsecretly ^Emaway, ^CWar-heads and ^Dsubmarines await^Em to make their play, T^Che military ^Dmasterminds imp^Emrove on their design, The ^Csoldiers get ^Ddoped up and s^Emtumble through the lines, While the ^Dspills into the rivers get carried out by the tide, They ^Emcall this ^Csecurity, I ^Dcall it ^Emsuicide.

^EmOur statesmen and ^Cleaders on their ^Dpoliticians ^Empay, ^CQuick to heed the ^Dhand that feeds, they're ^Emcareful what they say, They call out ^Cexperts to ^Dassure us, to ^Emwave their magic wands, This is the ^Cpower of the ^Dfuture, And the ^Emfuture marches on, And they ^Dcall in all their favours, all their political gains, While the ^Emspills fill the ^Crivers and ^Dsettle in the ^Emplains.

^EmI know the minds ^Cbehind them, they are ^Driddled full of ^Emholes, ^CNot to be ^Dtrusted with their ^Emhands at the controls, Their ^Ceyesight it is ^Dtwisted by the ^Emglory of their careers, The ^Cheaped praise and ^Dflattery is ^Emmusic to their ears, To ^Dlisten to them talk about how it hasn't happened yet's, Like playing ^EmHiroshima, ^CNagasaki, ^DRussian ^EmRoulette.
