[Verse 1]

Under the rising sun, dirty yellow children play

And in the red pagoda, mamasan is praying

Blood wasted saving face, ancestors are looking on

As they wave their silver samurai underneath the big gun


[Chorus]

Hiroshima, no one could imagine

Not the victors nor the victims

Pitiful survivors

Nor the pawn of a man who had the button under his hand

No one would believe it


[Verse 2]

God, God is on our side, he placed the power in our hands

To teach the yellow peril: this is Christian mercy

Harry, Harry, give 'em hell, give 'em hell one time again

Well, show those Axis powers how to make an oven, fry them


[Chorus]

Hiroshima, no one could imagine

Not the victors nor the victims

Pitiful survivors

Nor the pawn of a man who had the button under his hand

No one would believe it


[Post-Chorus]

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Don't you ever forget

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Don't you ever forget, don't you ever fucking forget


[Outro]


[Spoken]

This is the official voice of the United States of America addressing the peoples of the islands of Japan. Tomorrow morning August 15th, 1945 at exactly 8:15 AM we will bomb your cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima with a blast that will level these cities. This is the only alert you will receive


[Instrumental - Synthesizer and guitar solos]

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Don't you ever forget

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Don't you ever forget, don't you ever fucking forget

Hiroshima
