letra de oppenheimer - mc lars

it’s true, with great power comes unbelievable responsibility

verse 1:
before i get into this, i know i’m not innocent
came into the united states, the son of an immigrant
from the manhattan projects, was of jewish descent
fascinated by science since i was a little kid
loving quantum mechanics and nuclear physics
if it had to do with atoms, i was straight up addicted
that’s why my theories on neutron stars
black holes, and cosmic rays
got attention from the u. s. army way back in the day
they put me on a secret project, yеah, i got involved
they needed my hеlp to make the first atomic bomb
though i wasn’t a communist, you ain’t gotta worry bout me
the goal and the mission was to eradicate the n-z-s
i developed a team of so many wise minds
but was warned about impending doom from albert einstein
he said, “if you’re gonna do this, then you gotta know for sure
you could make a chain reaction and destroy the whole world.”

chorus:
what did i do? i just cannot believe it
started out with a dream, and i worked to achieve it
now there’s no going back, though it might sound absurd
because now i am death, the destroyer of worlds
the destroyer of worlds
the destroyer of worlds
now there’s no going back
though it might sound absurd
because now i am death
the destroyer of worlds
verse 2:
in nagasaki, hiroshima
so many innocent people
300,000 burned alive
so does that make me evil?
civilian mothers held their babies, they went first
call me vishnu, call me krishna
cause this cannot be reversed
yeah, i still remember how germany surrendered
but then the u. s. government had a new agenda
i tried to stop truman from carrying on
though he heard my complaints, my words he’d disregard
now the focus was the soviets, a new cold war
i’m like, “what do we need a giant hydrogen bomb for?”
dealing with the smartest people, still they paid no mind
tried to wake the country up. we were running out of time
i went public with my disconnect. how could i expect?
they blame einstein for the way i flipped, i guess, and i was stressed
he said, “if you’re gonna do this, then you gotta know for sure
you could make a chain reaction and destroy the whole world.”
