lyrics

Verse:

Way back in 1945
Dr. Graham is sitting in his chair
Thinking about the weapon he's creating.
All the while his son is sitting near.

Suddenly there's a knock at the door.
The man there introduces himself as Niemand.
Dr. Graham invites him in and offers him a drink, but
The man politely declines.

Chorus:

I want you to stop what you're doing.
You're going to hurt millions of people, and
If you don't believe me then wait until you see.
It's like giving a child a gun.

Verse:

Dr. Graham says it's all in the name of science.
Niemand asks him if he thinks we're ready.
Dr. Graham says, 'I think you understand my point of view.'
Niemand gets up and asks about those drinks.

Dr. Graham gets up and goes to make them.
Niemand goes to say good night to Graham's kid.
The drinks go quick and Niemand says, 'I hope that you don't mind
I gave your little boy a gift.'

Chorus

Bridge:
How many weapons can we make?
How many forms of genocide can we create?
How many times must we learn
That if we're going to play with fire we'll get burned?

Chorus
