In the beginning was a world Man said: Let there be more light Electric scenes a maze of beams Neon brights to light our boring nights On the second day he said: Let's have a gas Hydrogen and CO are of the past Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms Man will never be surpassed And he said: Behold what I have done I've made a better world for everyone Nobody laughs, nobody cries World without end, forever and ever Amen, amen, amen On the third we get green and blue pill pie On the fourth we send rockets to the sky On the fifth metal beasts and submarines On the sixth man prepares his final dream: In our image, let's make robots for our slaves Imagine all the time that we can save Computers, machines, the silicon dream Seventh he retired from the scene And he said: Behold what I have done I've made a better world for everyone Nobody laughs, nobody cries World without end, forever and ever Amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen) On the eighth day machine just got upset A problem man had not foreseen as yet No time for flight, a blinding light Then nothing but a void, forever night He said: Behold what man has done There's not a world for anyone Nobody laughs, nobody cries World's at an end, everyone has died Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen) He said: Behold what man has done There's not a world for anyone Nobody laughes, nobody cries World's at an end, everyone has died Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen)

This song was a top five hit in the UK and refers to Einstein's famous mass/energy equation E=M(C squared) which led to the development of the nuclear bomb. Einstein himself always warned about the dangers of the atom bomb and the song's hook is "You'd better watch out, You'd better beware / Albert says that E equals MC squared". The best bit of this record is the intro which is a montage of phone calls the band made to the White House, The Kremlin and other important places to try to talk to someone about the threat of nuclear war, and they keep getting turned away.

A smouldering wilderness Mass death and destruction Mass death and destruction Millions dead and dying A smouldering wilderness Now in darkness world stops turning.

The poster who added this song was wrong when they said that Little boy was not dropped by the Enola Gay and that it was the second one used. The Enola Gay carried the Little Boy bomb (a plutonium gun atomic weapon) to Hiroshima and Fat Man (an Implosion trigger device) was dropped later on Nagasaki.

Yes, this is about the bombing of Japan ending WWII. But, I just wanted to correct one of the postings on this site. The pilot was named for his wife, not his mother. The reference to little boy is the nickname for the bomb itself. Except, the bomb that was dropped by the Enola Gay was named Fat Man. The little boy bomb was the second one dropped.

This song tells about the Enola Gay, the US Airforce bomber which threw the Atomic Bomb over Hiroshima, in Japan. It was the first nuclear strike ever and one of the two nuclear strikes that human history knows about. The second bomb was threw over Nagasaki, that is in Japan too, as everybody knows. That airplane was called "Enola Gay" due to the name of the pilot's mother, who was called like that. She lived always proud of his son. But I'm sure that two bombs are the most horrible terrorist act ever. Of course they made japanese to show the white flag. Lyrics here: Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday Words can't describe the feeling and the way you lied These games you play, they're gonna end in more than tears someday Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way It's eight fifteen, and that's the time that it's always been We got your message on the radio: conditions normal and you're coming home Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today? This kiss you give it's never ever gonna fade away Enola Gay, it shouldn't ever have to end this way Enola Gay, it shouldn't fade in our dreams today

The song is about the bombing of Hiroshima, named after the plane that carried out the attack.

Storm warning on the radio, Flags and banners, Armageddon on the late night show...there's no phoenix rising and the future's stillborn, Dark shadows are dancing , My coat of colors is torn, in Euroshima...

Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon - come Armageddon! Come, Armageddon! come! Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and Grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard : How I dearly wish I was not here In the seaside town ...that they forgot to bomb Come, come, come - nuclear bomb Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and Grey Trudging back over pebbles and sand And a strange dust lands on your hands (and on your face...) (on your face ...) (on your face ...) (on your face ...) Everyday is like Sunday Win yourself a cheap tray Share some greased tea with me Everyday is silent and Grey

Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon come Armageddon! Come, Armageddon! Come! Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and gray Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard How I dearly wish I was not here In the seaside town that they forgot to bomb Come, come, come - nuclear bomb Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and gray Trudging back over pebbles and sand And a strange dust lands on your hands (and on your face...) (on your face ...) (on your face ...) (on your face ...) Everyday is like Sunday Win yourself a cheap tray Share some greased tea with me Everyday is silent and gray.

Lyrics: On the edge of Oblivion, And all the World is Babylon, A Ship of Fools sailing on...

There's a room where the light won't find you. Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. When they do I'll be right behind you. So glad we've almost made it. So sad they had to fade it. Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

Trudging slowly over wet sand Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town That they forgot to close down Armageddon - come Armageddon! Come, Armageddon! Come! Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and Grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard : "How I Dearly Wish I Was Not Here" In the seaside town ...that they forgot to bomb Come, Come, Come - nuclear bomb Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and Grey Trudging back over pebbles and sand And a strange dust lands on your hands And on your face... On your face ... On your face ... On your face ...) Everyday is like Sunday "Win Yourself A Cheap Tray" Share some greased tea with me Everyday is silent and grey
