there is nothing left today...nothing old or new
its charred and blind...a deadly wind blew through
a flash and din...the town's wiped out
left in a dead world...with no life about
yeah baby...i'm crying over you

those on the premises were gone without a peep
a blinding light...then endless sleep
heinous behavior...what...did...we...do ?
i'm stunned by this hiroshima miscue
i'm stunned by this hiroshima miscue

yeah, the other night, crying...crying, baby, yeah, i'm crying
yeah, they were defiled, baby...it makes me riled, baby
riled !...yeah, i'm going wild...really wild, really wild

they took the germ from atomic seed
and made a bomb...as quick as you please
heinous behavior...what...did...we...do ?
i'm stunned by this hiroshima miscue
i'm stunned by this hiroshima miscue

they were screaming that night, that night, from the demons
some would be fine...but some were dying
running wild, yeah, they were dying, dying far and wide
out of line line line line line, unkind
its so unkind...out of line...unkind, unkind

planes came in view...so silent in the night
so stealthy...mechanically quiet
heinous behavior...what...did...we...do ?
i'm stunned by this hiroshima miscue
i'm stunned by this hiroshima miscue

yeah, the war unwinds, fine...whew
but they crossed the line...tonight was no fair fight
they had planes in flight with flaming horror
stunned by this hiroshima miscue
they crossed the line...so out of line...unkind
they crossed the line...so out of line...unkind
they had planes in flight with flaming horror
flying above the city...its like hell, only larger
