Song Lyrics:
Bono howling= Bold
China, France, India, North Korea, Russia, United Kingdom
United States, Pakistan, Israel
Led 2-1-0, bismuth 2-1-0
Robert Oppenheimer, Robert Oppenheimer
Robert Oppenheimer, Robert Oppenheimer
Robert Oppenheimer…
Robert Oppenheimer
Alfred…obsidian
Mark Olipant
Uranium…plutonium…nitrogen…
Neutrons, protons, electrons
At the trinity test, physicist Robert Oppenheimer
Recites from the Bhadavad Vita:
Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds
I have blood on my hands
( Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds)
Tons of radioactive waste will eventually drop
On Navajo Indian reservations downwind of the test site
Effectively making Indians the first victims
Of environmental wastes
There’s a belief by the children of man
Which states all will be well
Oh… / Search on man, calm savior
Veteran of war’s incalculable greed
Oh… / Search on man, calm savior
Godspeed and forgive you
Morning star fragrant meadow personal girl
Oh…
Our hearts desire to love You, Lord
Watch over while we sleep
(Our hearts desire to love You, Lord
Watch over while we sleep)
That when the new day dawns on high
We may Your praises sing
(That when the new day dawns on high
We may Your praises sing)
Ah…men, ah..men, ah…men
Few people laughed…
Few people cried…
Most people were silent…
