Imagine a time, when it all began. In the dying days of a warA weapon - that would settle the scoreWhoever 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 floorIn each nation - always eager to exploreTo build the best big stick. To turn the winning trick -But this was something more...

The big bang - took and shook the worldShot down the rising sun. The end was begun - it would hit everyoneWhen the chain reaction was doneThe big shots - try to hold it back. Fools try to wish it awayThe hopeful depend on a world without end. Whatever the hopeless may say

Imagine a place where it all began. They gathered from across the landTo work in the secrecy of the desert sand. All of the brightest boysTo 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 dayAll 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 tryBut all around, even our old friends put us downLet's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful? No, they're spiteful and they're hatefulThey 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 hotAnd Canada's too cold. And South America stole our nameLet's drop the big one. There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia. Don't wanna hurt no kangarooWe'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 meAnd every city the whole world round. Will just be another American townOh, how peaceful it will be. We'll set everybody freeYou'll wear a Japanese kimono. And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhowSo let's drop the big one nowLet's drop the big one now
