David Bowie - bombers

가사는 전쟁의 참상과 폭력으로 조화롭게 부서지는 세상을 나타내며, 한 노인이 죽음을 잊은 채 평화롭게 앉아있는 모습이 대조적이다
인간의 무관심 속에서 자연과 우주도 고통받고 있다는 메시지를 전달하고 있다

"All clear" wail the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes
Seemed a good idea to drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Only one man could be seen and he was old and so serene
Captain sat in his deck chair and the red light flashed "beware"
Pilot felt quite big-time as the bomb sailed through the air
Well, they danced and sang when the "bang" went "bang"
When the lights popped out, when the smoke began to clear
It was positively queer
"All clear" wail the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes
"Die" said the General, "cobblers" said the man
So the Pentagon sent a cable and the Queen a telegram
A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones ripped apart that sand
'Til the stench was just revolting and the sky a greenish tan
But a soldier said "Sir, there's a crack in the world"
And the rivers went "squash" and the bits flew far and wide
How the universe sighed
