《The Great Unknown》歌词

[00:00:00] The Great Unknown - Dar Williams

[00:00:10] Once upon a time

[00:00:11] There was a nuclear family

[00:00:13] And we lived in a family time

[00:00:16] We'd unite in a family way

[00:00:20] And off the ancient mountain

[00:00:23] They were splitting every nucleus

[00:00:25] But they said "Don't be alarmed"

[00:00:28] They said "Just don't try this at home"

[00:00:31] And they were the mystery

[00:00:32] That made the world run

[00:00:33] And we had the power cause

[00:00:35] They were the sun

[00:00:36] And we called them our heroes

[00:00:37] And the future had come

[00:00:39] They said

[00:00:39] "Look at the light we're giving you

[00:00:41] And the darkness

[00:00:42] That we're saving you from"

[00:00:44] And soon they were bringing

[00:00:46] It into our showrooms

[00:00:49] And they'd unveil it with it's title

[00:00:51] 'Bring your family

[00:00:53] Bring your family

[00:00:54] It's the great unknown'

[00:00:57] You can look but you can't fathom

[00:00:59] It's the great unknown

[00:01:07] I'm no ordinary princess

[00:01:10] I was born in the cold war

[00:01:12] And my team is the Rockets

[00:01:15] Go team it's a dangerous time

[00:01:19] And I dream of the moon

[00:01:21] And building lunar clone colonies

[00:01:24] And I build my peace through strength

[00:01:27] That's the best weapon you've got

[00:01:29] Oh I am the brainchild

[00:01:31] I am the mortar

[00:01:33] With a plastic trophy

[00:01:33] And an eating disorder

[00:01:35] And a vision as big as a great big wall

[00:01:37] And they tell me

[00:01:38] That I'll move forward for the good of us all

[00:01:42] And for the good of nuclear families all

[00:01:46] And they think I think I am important

[00:01:50] I know I never was

[00:01:52] I wasn't

[00:01:53] No I never and how could I be

[00:01:57] It's the great unknown

[00:01:59] Now we've built it

[00:02:01] Now it's ticking it's the great unknown

[00:02:08] And I am your children

[00:02:11] And I am millions

[00:02:13] And I wanted to sell out

[00:02:15] I wanted to try

[00:02:16] But you know that the sky got too low

[00:02:18] And the ocean got too high

[00:02:19] And I

[00:02:20] I had to take God into my own hands

[00:02:24] Am I too late

[00:02:26] Is it over

[00:02:27] Have I sacrificed my family

[00:02:30] To the great unknown

[00:02:32] There's a war between my conscience

[00:02:35] And the great unknown

[00:02:49] So I walked out into the Gamma

[00:02:51] Fields out in Mercury Nevada

[00:02:54] Where I stood in a circle

[00:02:56] And that circle started to pray

[00:03:00] And now the wind at the nuclear test sights

[00:03:03] Floats the data at the radiation

[00:03:06] From the underground testing

[00:03:08] Cross the line you'll get arrested

[00:03:11] And we came from all over in a silent appeal

[00:03:14] As the drill comes down

[00:03:15] Like a presidential seal

[00:03:17] And we stand for the living

[00:03:18] And we stand for the dead

[00:03:19] And we looked out to see your enemies

[00:03:21] And we see that you're looking

[00:03:23] All at us instead

[00:03:25] You think I am being disruptive

[00:03:29] But no I'm running home

[00:03:31] I'm running

[00:03:32] Cause I'm trying to put

[00:03:33] The atom back together

[00:03:37] It's the great unknown

[00:03:40] I'm just trying to put

[00:03:41] The atom back together

[00:03:45] It's the great unknown
