Survival Machine Lyrics & Tabs by Roger Joseph Manning Jr.
Survival Machine
guitar chords lyrics
Oppenheimer's refugees
The greatest minds that science
Could convene
Welcome home, hail to the chief
He swears his ends will justify
Your means
Now, all you men of great renown
I need your smarts, so gather 'round
Right or wrong, it's our destiny
All I ask is that you try
You'd be saving so many lives
Go forth now, invent our vaccine
Survival machine
Trinity in '45
The sum of all our fears now
Survival machine
Trinity in '45
The sum of all our fears now
Quite alive
So in the east a fireworks show
Just to prove at last
That god, in fact, does take sides
A voice cheers through the telephone
“Now I can bring our boys back home”
You just might have stopped World War Three
But this intellect can't reconcile
How could our gifts become so vile?
Come home, lads, you've set us all free
Bless the survival machine
Machine
Late one lonely night
My soul was given up to flight
A chance to see what happens when
Love gives way to self defense
Now don't you worry
You are forgiven now
Come, child, take my hand
I'll walk you through our ravaged land
You'll breathe that fire into your lungs
And feel the heat of a thousand suns
Now don't be sorry
You are forgiven now
Brothers, sisters, pity me
I lost all sense of family
Was blinded by the victory signs
A hero's welcome in my mind
We know you're sorry
You are forgiven now
