Lyrics
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
The politics of power, they passed around their seed
It was a time to remember, we never can forget
They were playin' Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian
Roulette
They arose like the saviours of our modern human race
With radiation haloes, that hung about their face
With the key to the sure-cure, the treatment of our
Ills
A hot-shot of cobalt, and a pocket-full of pills
Speaking always of the enemy, who lurked across the
Sea
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 can hear in the underground is the humming
Through the night
And 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
War-heads and submarines await to make their play
The military masterminds improve on their design
The soldiers get all doped up and stumble through the
Lines
While the spills into the rivers get carried out by the
Tide
They call this security but we're not satisfied
Our statesmen and leaders and politicians pay
Quick to heed the hand that feeds, they're careful what
They say
They call out experts to assure us, to wave their magic
Wands
This is the power of the future, And the future marches
On
And they call in their favours, all their political
Gains
While the spills fill the rivers and settle in the
Plains
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
The heaped praise and flattery is music to their ears
To listen to them talk about how it hasn't happened
Yet
Like playing Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Russian Roulette

"They call this security"
"I call it suicide"
Absolutley love this. Good man christy, allways tells it like it is.
Great. Ever more relevant nowadays.
More relevant than ever. Thank you for the gift of your music, Christy Moore.
What a rare courage and amazing musicality! At this time, according to careful scientists, the US is closer to the brink of nuclear war and it's destruction of the planet, than we've ever been. Unfortunately most people don't realize the gravity of out current plight. We urgently need more brave people to sing out and to speak up while we still can.
Nothing new under the sun...
History repeats..
Love you..love you all..💞

Is this Jim Page's song?
Erschreckend aktuell ...
Still valid unfortunately
The problem with society is it listens to its politicians and not its poets
Lovely tune this one
Hiroshima Nagasaki American roulette..
Your songs draw me in with the guitars and lyrics.
Im probably stupid asking this question but who is the guy on your right playing guitar. Your both amazing and I'm new as in 2 years hearing your songs on ICMR
Declan Sinnott.

Good man Christy, still political, love it, another mighty song ...
Unreal christy
I’d listen to him sing the phone book
U.S. genocide in Hiroshima Nagasaki thousands were killed ..Thousands suffers under radiation.......That Is the real Title of this song.
This song is soooooo relevant today. Maybe someone should make our so called World Leaders, listen to it and wake up to themselves.🇦🇺♥️🇮🇪
It's not that they don't know, unfortunately. They don't care.
@@theresewalters1696 And it's getting worse. It's just a big ego trip for politicians. See who'll blink first. I hate all politicians and political parties world wide. The only leading world leaders do is lead us to total destruction.
Thank you
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Amazing song - cheers Christy
