Sting – Russians Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is pure genius. It has a great many references in it and a great rhythm about the words. The clock in the beggining is a reference to the doomsday clock. I also find his use of "little boy" interesting because he is trying to save his little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy, the deadly toy being the atomic bomb. But the fact that Oppenheimer's first A-bomb was called Little Boy makes this line even more interesting. Therer are so many quotable lines in this, but it is just such a good song lyrically and musically.
