    Sacrifice And Greed
    Lyrics by S.Newman

    (chorus)
    There were two Suns in the morning
    In the land of the rising sun
    There was no warning
    They never had a chance to run
    As the atomic age was dawning
    Down on them

    (verse1)
    I doubt we will see a Hollywood movie
    about the day the bombs fell to earth
    We all like those films about victory
    but do we really want to see the price its worth
    Its amazing how quickly people forget it seems
    When they see that atomic cloud on their tv screen
    Watching it from afar on some old documentary
    But I imagine there are people alive today
    that can still hear those awful screams
    Or morn the loss of friends and family

    (chorus)
    There were two Suns in the morning
    In the land of the rising sun
    There was no warning
    They never had a chance to run
    As the atomic age was dawning
    Down on them

    (verse2)
    biggest act of terrorism the world has ever seen
    you can file this alongside other atrocities
    genocide of the Jews, or napalm in Vietnam
    but it's more than just the cost of war
    you see we all know right from wrong
    And we are all just human
    I wonder if the pilots have nightmares
    about the day the atomic child was born
    I wonder if their government even cares
    for the crew that flew out in the morn

    (chorus)
    There were two Suns in the morning
    In the land of the rising sun
    There was no warning
    They never had a chance to run
    As the atomic age was dawning
    Down on them

    (verse3)
    star spangled bomber of silverplate design
    The government had one goal set in its mind
    success was counted in the loss of lives
    seventy thousand gone in the blink of an eye
    Then many more as time went by
    Cancer, what a horrible way to die
    everything done before the desision was made
    On the birth of the nuclear age
    The world told it was a necessary evil
    Shame we can't ask all those people

    (chorus)
    There were two Suns in the morning
    In the land of the rising sun
    There was no warning
    They never had a chance to run
    As the atomic age was dawning
    Down on them
