Watchmaker

Physics Calculus Uranium And Plutonium Every resource we can find To make a better tomorrow From passenger planes to fighter jets Nuclear power to atomic bombs From standard jeeps to giant tanks To North Korea and Vietnam From music players to sonic booms Electricity to radiation From medicines to poisons To the opposite of creation Inventions that cross between Commodity and sheer destruction Forest fires, napalm gas, and inhuman chemistry Our arsenal of megadeath unleashed above the skies Sacrifice of conscience to obtain more weaponry Caught between the vultures of politics and lies The space race The arms race The race to end mankind If only I had known I would have become a watchmaker
