Lyrics

1945

[Chorus]

Atom bomb, TNT

New disease, poor city

[Verse 1]

Flying over Hiroshima, 1945

The city looks small from way up here

I wonder who'll survive

[Chorus]

Atom bomb, TNT

New disease, poor city

[Verse 2]

A blinding flash hotter than the sun

Dead bodies lie across the path

The radiation colors the air

Finishing one by one

[Chorus]

Atom bomb, TNT

New disease, poor city

[Verse 3]

A blinding flash hotter than the sun

Dead bodies lie across the path

The radiation colors the air

Finishing one by one
