Şarkı sözleri

There was a bomb so big in the USA, it was built in Manhattan
On the 6th of August '45, it blew with the power of a thousand suns
Absurdly named the Little Boy it was tested on the sand
The explosion louder than the cries of the target in the land of the rising sun
And they were gone, gone in a flash
They were people just like you and me, but taken oh so fast
And they were gone, for want of gain
Taken from this world to prove a point in a rich man's game
Well in Hiroshima one Monday morn, all the people on their way
Sailing through the air so high was a plan they called Enola Gay
It was bombs away and the plan went fraying, distant to the blast
Then a blinding light sent a lasting sight that would leave the world aghast
And they were gone, gone in a flash
They were people just like you and me, but taken oh so fast
And they were gone, for want of gain
Taken from this world to prove a point in a rich man's game
The aftermath of the deadly blast destroyed everything in sight
A mushroom cloud so very big, it turned the sunny daylight into night
A toxic cloud of poisonous dust, it filled the sky with fear
And just like that a community lost of the damage that was caused they had no idea
And they were gone, gone in a flash
They were people just like you and me, but taken oh so fast
And they were gone, for want of gain
Taken from this world to prove a point in a rich man's game
Three days later the Fat Man dropped, another eighty thousand dead
The final fate of the Nagasaki people horrific and widespread
For many months more, more civilians died due to sickness and the fire
But the human loss was justified by the leaders at the top and their sick desire
Another eighty years we have lived in fear of the button being pressed
Nine more countries have the biggest bombs, twelve thousand deadline war-heads at best guess
Do we need this power in a few rich hands, to repeat this deadly war?
Do we really want to leave this legacy for our children to inherit for evermore?
And they were gone, gone in a flash
They were people just like you and me, but taken oh so fast
And they were gone, for want of gain
Taken from this world to prove a point in a rich man's game
