Split The Atom - The Ghost Of A Thousand
There's a shadow on the
Bodies of the kids
That we all grew up adoring
Can you whisper can you stutter
Can you breath whilst the smog climbs
Through our mountains
This is bleeding us dry
This is cutting us up
We're the kids who see the world
As an empty cup with a death note
And a black stare and a pardon
From a government that doesn't care
We sleep our locks are picked apart
And analyzed Here's your weapon
Here's your secret
Here's the pieces of the puzzles
You have hidden
Here's your money
Here's your gun
Here's the funeral
You've earned only son
Well we're all drinking alone
We're all singing a tune
We're the kids in the blacked
Out hospital rooms
With the lights on
And our eyes shut as the bricks
And the timber fall around us
We sleep our locks are picked apart
And analyzed Pick up pick up
Pick up pick up the damn phone
There's a chance
We'll make it tonight Run on
Run on run on
This is an island not a tomb
For the likes of you and I
Yeah we've got the pigs skin
Yeah we split the atom
Yeah we lost
The one good thing we made
Yeah we're drinking alone
Yeah we're singing a tune
We're the kids in the blacked
Out hospital rooms
With the lights on
And our eyes shut as the bricks
And the timber fall around us
See that b**ch swing
F**king treason
Split the atom split it
