It's true, with great power comes unbelievable responsibility Before I get into this, I know I'm not innocent Came into the United States, the son of an immigrant From the Manhattan Projects, was of Jewish descent Fascinated by science since I was a little kid Loving quantum mechanics and nuclear physics If it had to do with atoms, I was straight up addicted That's why my theories on neutron stars Black holes, and cosmic rays Got attention from the U. S. Army way back in the day They put me on a secret project, yeah, I got involved They needed my help to make the first atomic bomb Though I wasn't a communist, you ain't gotta worry bout me The goal and the mission was to eradicate the Nazis I developed a team of so many wise minds But was warned about impending doom from Albert Einstein He said, "if you're gonna do this, then you gotta know for sure You could make a chain reaction and destroy the whole world." What did I do? I just cannot believe it Started out with a dream, and I worked to achieve it Now there's no going back, though it might sound absurd Because now I am Death, the destroyer of worlds The destroyer of worlds The destroyer of worlds Now there's no going back Though it might sound absurd Because now I am death The destroyer of worlds In Nagasaki, Hiroshima So many innocent people 300,000 burned alive So does that make me evil? Civilian mothers held their babies, they went first Call me Vishnu, call me Krishna Cause this cannot be reversed Yeah, I still remember how Germany surrendered But then the U. S. government had a new agenda I tried to stop Truman from carrying on Though he heard my complaints, my words he'd disregard Now the focus was the Soviets, a new Cold War I'm like, "What do we need a giant hydrogen bomb for?" Dealing with the smartest people, still they paid no mind Tried to wake the country up. We were running out of time I went public with my disconnect. How could I expect? They blame Einstein for the way I flipped, I guess, and I was stressed He said, "if you're gonna do this, then you gotta know for sure You could make a chain reaction and destroy the whole world." What did I do? I just cannot believe it Started out with a dream, and I worked to achieve it Now there's no going back, though it might sound absurd Because now I am Death, the destroyer of worlds The destroyer of worlds The destroyer of worlds Now there's no going back Though it might sound absurd Because now I am death The destroyer of worlds So can I engineer a quantum tunnel into heaven? I've been waiting at the gates since 1967 Situation critical, it's way more than political Unprecedented carnage, guess this karmic debt is cyclical I built this Frankenstein I can't rewind St. Peter's standing with the keys and he won't step aside J. Robert Oppenheimer is my name and I tell them all Doomed forever as the father of the atom bomb
