《Talking Atom》歌词

[00:00:02] Talking Atom -Pete Seeger

[00:00:24] Well, I'm gonna preach you a sermon 'bout Old Man Atom,

[00:00:30] I don't mean the Adam in the Bible datum.

[00:00:32] I don't mean the Adam that Mother Eve mated,

[00:00:34] I mean that thing that science liberated.

[00:00:37] Einstein says he's scared,

[00:00:40] And when Einstein's scared, I'm scared.

[00:00:45] Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini...

[00:00:57] Here's my moral, plain as day,

[00:00:59] Old Man Atom is here to stay.

[00:01:02] He's gonna hang around, it's plain to see,

[00:01:04] But, ah, my dearly beloved, are we?

[00:01:07] We hold these truths to be self-evident

[00:01:10] All men may be cremated equal.

[00:01:15] Hiroshima, Nagasaki --here's my text

[00:01:17] Hiroshima, Nagasaki --Lordy, who'll be next.

[00:01:25] The science guys, from every clime,

[00:01:28] They all pitched in with overtime.

[00:01:30] Before they knew it, the job was done;

[00:01:32] They'd hitched up the power of the gosh-darn sun,

[00:01:34] They put a harness on Old Sol,

[00:01:37] Splittin' atoms, while the diplomats was splittin' hairs. . .

[00:01:42] Hiroshima, Nagasaki --what'll we do?

[00:01:43] Hiroshima, Nagasaki --they both went up the blue.

[00:01:45] Then the cartel crowd put on a show

[00:01:46] To turn back the clock on the UNO,

[00:01:48] To get a corner on atoms and maybe extinguish

[00:01:51] Every darned atom that can't speak English.

[00:01:53] Down with foreign-born atoms!

[00:01:58] Yes, Sir!

[00:01:59] Hiroshima, Nagasaki...

[00:02:03] But the atom's international, in spite of hysteria,

[00:02:06] Flourishes in Utah, also Siberia.

[00:02:07] And whether you're white, black, red or brown,

[00:02:10] The question is this, when you boil it down:

[00:02:12] To be or not to be!

[00:02:14] That is the question. . .

[00:02:16] Atoms to atoms, and dust to dust,

[00:02:18] If the world makes A-bombs, something's bound to bust.

[00:02:26] Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini...

[00:02:34] No, the answer to it all isn't milit
