They dropped the bomb in '45 to end the World War,
No one had ever seen such a terrible sight before,
The world looked on with eyes wide to see where it might lead,
Politics of power they passed around the seed,
It was a time to remember we never can forget,
They were playing Hiroshima Nagasaki Russian Roulette.

They rose up like the saviours of our modern human race,
With radiation haloes that hung about their face,
With the key to the sure cure treatment for our ills,
Hot shot of cobalt, pocket full of pills,
Speaking always of the enemy who lurked across the seas,
While they crept in among us like a carrier disease.

Deep down inside the bunkers of the concrete and the lead,
Einstein's disciples working steadily ahead,
Making heavy-metal power plants to fire the city lights,
All you hear in the underground is the humming through the night,
The walls of tight security circle all around,
Where they spill out their poison and bury it in the ground.

Holed up in the harbours, hidden secretly away,
Warheads and submarines they await to make their play,
The military masterminds improving their designs,
Soldiers get all doped up and they stumble through the lines,
The spills into the rivers get carried by the tide,
They call this security, we're not satisfied.

They've caused the deaths of millions and that's their stock-in-trade,
They will be afflicted by the fallout that they made,
They've sealed their own inevitable doom, it must surely come,
Not even the moons of Jupiter would be far enough away to run,
When this earth that they've assaulted begins to turn around,
And the unavoidable gravity sucks them to the ground.

I know the minds behind them they are riddled full of holes,
Not to be trusted with their hands at the controls,
Their eyesight it is twisted by the glory of their careers,
Heaped the praise of flattery is music to them ears,
To listen to them talk about how it hasn't happened yet,
It's like playing Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette,
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette,
Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette.
