Imagine Dragons – Radioactive
I'm waking up to ash and dustI wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison busThis is it, the apocalypse
Whoa
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bonesEnough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new ageWelcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactiveWhoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
I raise my flags, don my clothesIt's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right inWhoa

Dang Thuy Tram, VietCong Doctor, 1967
"I had to do an appendix operation without enough medicine. Only a few tubes of Novocain, but the wounded young soldier never cried out or yelled. He continued to smile to encourage me. Looking at the forced smile on his dry lips, knowing his fatigue, I felt so sorry for him ... I lightly stroked his hair. I would like to say to him, 'Patients like you who I cannot cure cause me the most sorrow, and their memory will not fade'."
