Hiroshima Lyrics by Utopia

Live In Tokyo ’79

1977

[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
