Once upon a time there was a nuclear family
And we lived in family time, we'd unite in a family way.
And off on the ancient mountain, they were splitting every nucleus
But they said, "Don't be alarmed," they said, "Just don't try this at home."
And they were the mystery that made the world run
And we had the power, cause they were the sun
And we called them our heroes, and the future had come
They said look at the light we're giving you,
And the darkness that we're saving you from, and
Soon they were bringing it into our showrooms
And they'd unveil it, with its title,
Bring your family, bring your family, it's the Greay Unknown
You can look, but you can't fathom, it's the Great Unknown.
I'm no ordinary princess, I was born in the cold war
And my team was the Rockets, go team, it's a dangerous time.
And I dream of the moon and building nuclear clone colonies
And I build my peace through strength, that's the best weapon you've got
Oh i am the brainchild, I am the mortar,
With a plastic trophy and an eating disorder
And a vision as big as a great big wall
And they tell me that I'll move forward for the good of us all
And for the good of nuclear families all, and
They think I think I am important
I know I never was, I wasn't
No, I never, and how could I be? It's the Great Unknown
Now we've built it, not it's ticking, it's the great Unknown.
And I am your children, and I am millions
And I wanted to sell out, I wanted to try,
But you know that the sky got too low, and the ocean got too high,
And I had to take God into my own hands
Am I too late, is it over,
Have I sacrificed my family to the Great Unknown?
There's a war between my conscious and the Great Unknown.
So, I walked out into the gamme fields, out in Mercury, Nevada
Where I stood in a circle, and that circle started to pray.
And now the wind at the nuclear test site floats the data of the radiation
From the underground testing, cross the line, you'll get arrested.
And we came from all over in a a silent appeal
As the drill comes down like a presidential seal
And we stand for the living, and we stand for the dead
And we looked out to see your enemies, and we see that you're looking at us instead, and
You think I am being disruptive,
But no, I'm running home, I'm running
Cause I'm trying to put the atom back together. It's the Great Unknown
I'm just trying to put the atom back together, it's the Great Unknown.
