Atomic Energy

歌詞

Some men with brains in their cranium Took a piece of uranium They did what other men couldn't do They split the atom right in two Now it's up to the people to crusade To see that no more bombs are made That it's great force should only be used For peace and democracy They took all the U 238 that They could find in the United States They gathered it and made it all Into the size of a billiard ball Now it's up to the people to crusade To see that no more bombs are made That it's great force should only be used For peace and democracy Down to the south and west they went To try out their experiment To find out what they wanted to know In the desert of New Mexico Now it's up to the people to crusade To see that no more bombs are made That it's great force should only be used For peace and democracy If you should travel out west someday And happen to stop off in Santa Fe Just look around and take a stroll You'll come across a great big hole Now it's up to the people to crusade To see that no more bombs are made That it's great force should only be used For peace and democracy Today it's the size of a billiard ball Tomorrow it'll be the size of city hall And when they drop it, you will see The place where this earth used to be Now it's up to the people to crusade To see that no more bombs are made That it's great force should only be used For peace and democracy We all can have prosperity With this atomic energy The world can have its pork and beans Or be blown into smithereens Now it's up to the people to crusade To see that no more bombs are made That it's great force should only be used For peace and democracy
