Imagine a time When it all began in the dying days of a war A weapon, that would settle the score Whoever found it first Would be sure to do their worst They always had before  Imagine a man Where it all began  A scientist pacing the floor In each nation, always eager to explore To build the best big stick To turn the winning trick But this was something more   The big bang, took and shook the world  Shot down the rising sun  The end was begun, it would hit everyone  When the chain reaction was done  The big shots, try to hold it back  Fools try to wish it away  The hopeful depend on a world without end  Whatever the hopeless may say   Imagine a place Where it all began They gathered from across the land To work in the secrecy of the desert sand All of the brightest boys To play with the biggest toys More than they bargained for  The big bang, took and shook the world  Shot down the rising sun  The hopeful depend on a world without end  Whatever the hopeless may say   Imagine a man When it all began The pilot of Enola Gay Flying out of the shock wave On that August day All the powers that be And the course of history Would be changed for evermore  The big bang, took and shook the world  Shot down the rising sun  The end was begun, it would hit everyone  When the chain reaction was done  The big shots, try to hold it back  Fools try to wish it away  The hopeful depend on a world without end  Whatever the hopeless may say   The big bang, took and shook the world  Shot down the rising sun  The hopeful depend on a world without end  Whatever the hopeless may say
