《Talking Atom》歌词

[00:02:29] I'm gonna preach you a sermon 'bout Old Man Atom,

[00:02:29] Now I don't mean the Adam in the Bible datum.

[00:02:29] No, I don't mean the Adam that Mother Eve mated,

[00:02:29] I mean that thing that science liberated.

[00:02:29] You know Einstein said he was scared,

[00:02:29] And what he's scared of, boy, I'm scared.

[00:02:29] You know life used to be such a simple joy

[00:02:29] The cyclotron was just a super toy

[00:02:29] Folks got born, they'd work and marry

[00:02:29] And "atom" was a word in the dictionary

[00:02:29] Then it happened

[00:02:29] These science guys, from every clime,

[00:02:29] They all pitched in with overtime.

[00:02:29] Before they knew it, the job was done;

[00:02:29] They'd hitched up the power of the gosh-darn sun,

[00:02:29] They put a harness on old Sol,

[00:02:29] Splittin' atoms, right and left,

[00:02:29] While the diplomats was splittin' hairs . . .

[00:02:29] 'cause cartel crowd put on a show

[00:02:29] They gonna turn back the clock on the UNO,

[00:02:29] grab a corner on atoms and maybe extinguish

[00:02:29] every damned atom that can't speak English.

[00:02:29] Down with foreign-born atoms!

[00:02:29] America for American atoms

[00:02:29] Step right up folks, let's atomize world peace.

[00:02:29] But the atom's international, in spite of hysteria,

[00:02:29] Flourishes in Utah, also Siberia.

[00:02:29] The atoms don't care about politics

[00:02:29] or who got what in whichever fix

[00:02:29] All he wants to do is to sit around and have his nucleus bombarded by neutrons

[00:02:29] Yes it's up to the people

[00:02:29] 'cause the atom don't care

[00:02:29] You can't fence these many just like air

[00:02:29] Whether you'are black, white, red or brown

[00:02:29] The question is this, when you boil it down:

[00:02:29] To be or not to be!

[00:02:29] That is the question. . .

[00:02:29] Yes and the answer to it all ain't military datum

[00:02:29] Like "Who get their fustest with the mostest atoms"

[00:02:29] But the people of the world must decide their fate,

[00:02:29] We got to stick together or disintegrate.

[00:02:29] We hold these truths to be self-evident:

[00:02:29] All men could be cremated equal.
