[Intro (Samples)]
"The capabilities of most weapons are pretty well understood. But when it comes to atomic explosions, the guessing game starts."
[orchestral music]
"You are here to participate in an atomic maneuver. This is not a haphazard maneuver. Careful planning started for it months back. Watched from a safe distance, this explosion is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man."
"Alright, let's take a few minutes right now to get acquainted with an A-bomb."
"Enough exposure to radiation will cause loss of hair. The treatment, if you insist, would be symptomatic: a toupée."
"What's it like, Chaplain?"
"First of all, one sees a very, very bright light, followed by a shockwave. Then you hear the sound of the blast, and then it seems as though there is a minor earthquake. And then you look up and you see the fireball as it ascends up into the heavens. It's a wonderful sight to behold."
"Actually, there's no need to be worried, as the Army has taken all of the necessary precautions to see that we're perfectly safe here."
"The radiation level may be high, but if you follow orders you’ll be moved out in time to avoid sickness. Finally, if you receive enough gamma radiation to cause sterility or severe sickness, you'll be killed by blasts, flying debris, or heat anyway."
"What makes it so dangerous?"
"You can't see radiation, feel it, smell it, or taste it."
"So it's beautiful."
[Verse 1]
Are you listening?
Hear the money talk
Say the screeching hawks
To the hand of God
[Verse 2]
Warning colors change
Hear the TVs say
No one's safe
Say, no one's safe
There's no more time
[Verse 3]
Once you've stolen it
You can't give it back
Every coronet
Will be playing "Taps"
[Verse 4]
And the rich will weep
Like they did before
Say, we want more
Say, well, we want more
[Verse 5]
They won't take it laying down
You better get ready fast
“What a war,” I say through a gas mask
[Chorus]
Slave, rape, kill, now it's too late
We didn't want to, but we have to
Uniform, uniform squad
I wanna fight in the war
I wanna fight in the war
I wanna fight in the war
I want it
Who's up for making some more
Who's up for making some more
Who's up for making some more
Blood money?
[Sample]
"Now, listen, kids. If they're dropping an atomic bomb, it may go off any second now. Whatever happens, I'll give the signal when it’s all right for us to get up. If there's an explosion, we'll wait about a minute after it's all over, then we'll go upstairs and take a look around and see if it's all right."
[Chorus]
Slave, rape, kill, now its too late
We didn't want to, but we have to
Uniform, uniform squad
I wanna fight in the war
Who's up for making some more
Who's up for making some more
Blood money?
[Sample]
[countdown and explosion]
[Sample]
"This explosion is one of the most beautiful sights ever seen by man."
"Which puts the finger squarely upon one of the major fallacies in the public attitude toward atomic weapons."
