Imagine a time, when it all began. In the dying days of a war A weapon - that would settle the score Whoever found it first. Would be sure to do their worst - They always had before... Imagine a man where it all began. A scientist pacing the floor In each nation - always eager to explore To build the best big stick. To turn the winning trick - But this was something more... The big bang - took and shook the world Shot down the rising sun. The end was begun - it would hit everyone When the chain reaction was done The big shots - try to hold it back. Fools try to wish it away The hopeful depend on a world without end. Whatever the hopeless may say Imagine a place where it all began. They gathered from across the land To work in the secrecy of the desert sand. All of the brightest boys To play with the biggest toys - More than they bargained for... Imagine a man when it all began. The pilot of "Enola Gay" Flying out of the shockwave on that August day All the powers that be, and the course of history, Would be changed for evermore...

No one likes us-I don't know why. We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try But all around, even our old friends put us down Let's drop the big one and see what happens We give them money-but are they grateful? No, they're spiteful and they're hateful They don't respect us-so let's surprise them. We'll drop the big one and pulverize them Asia's crowded and Europe's too old. Africa is far too hot And Canada's too cold. And South America stole our name Let's drop the big one. There'll be no one left to blame us We'll save Australia. Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo We'll build an All American amusement park there. They got surfin', too Boom goes London and boom Paree. More room for you and more room for me And every city the whole world round. Will just be another American town Oh, how peaceful it will be. We'll set everybody free You'll wear a Japanese kimono. And there'll be Italian shoes for me They all hate us anyhow So let's drop the big one now Let's drop the big one now
