Generate meaning
1
[Intro]
2
War gives value to life by showing it can be taken away
3
And in a perverted way, those who wage war delude themselves into thinking they create life
4
Or at least make it meaningful
5
Thus, using that as a basis for grandiose notions of supremacy
6
Falsely giving themselves the title of masters of the universe
7
And gatekeepers of morality
8
[Verse 1]
9
Peace trials and living power pleasure over pain
10
Geiger counters check amounts of radiation in the rain
11
Biochemical nuke, gas masks and rubber boots
12
Inhale your last gasp without a Hazmat suit
13
Terrible, unbearable miracle of the modern scientific
14
Arms race, chase for the horrific
15
Manhattan project, man cancelling concept
16
Catastrophic bomb, a fabric-shattering context
17
A little boy falling from a metal bird
18
Followed by a fat man who left behind a leveled earth
19
Imbalanced challenge to survival of the whole piece
20
Have seeked to staff the whole planet with their own peeps
21
A zone beeps of contaminated contents
22
Atomically activated, saturated beyond its
23
Limits, to live within its boundaries with conscience
24
To cancer cells, I'm not totally unresponsive
25
[Hook]
26
Cause in the future shock, there where everything's storied
27
I don't feel like there's anything for me
28
I hope they put this out
29
Cause in the future shock, there where everything's storied
30
I don't feel like there's anything for me
31
I hope they figure out
32
This atomic misphilosophy
33
[Verse 2]
34
Uninhabitable avenues, third wars in southern latitudes
35
Mutually assured that it all happens to
36
International violence leaves us black and blue
37
Blast us back into the past if attack ensues
38
A pack-approved tactic fully practiced
39
On the evil of the axis back in World War Two
40
The melted lunchbox of a disintegrated girl
41
Dogs on fire, the mosquitoes, flies and squirrels
42
Men, women and children have their bones cooked to ash
43
And their shadows burning to the ground from the flash
44
And if they didn't pass what's the future, Hibakusha?
45
You say you need a job, but they won't give it to ya
46
In the era where they said the greatest evil was that white man
47
From the reich land, but this was coming from the same people
48
Who thought that Jim Crow was all 'ight then'
49
Same thing that kept Colonel Tibbets on his flight plan
50
[Hook]
51
[Verse 3]
52
Nuclear stockpile's America's second largest
53
The world's most destructive and the world's most heartless
54
Under the auspices that war will be rendered harmless
55
And everlasting peace will be in reach if we just bomb shit
56
Technologically fanatic racial socio-
57
Economic faux-intellectual fucking nonsense
58
Dripping with political interludes, typical of a system
59
Stark raving mad and operating unconscious
60
Now how do we proceed?
61
Knowing through the man's fatalism
62
And probably you'll never leave
63
A disease trying to cure its own symptoms with disease
64
Creating an epidemic just to see if it can be
65
Genuine mistrust of everything but us
66
Based on artificial evidence, but mostly racists at the crux
67
Let's pray they throw 'em all out
68
And I hope I don't see you
69
Through the foggy field of vision in the fall out
70
[Hook]
