More and more rogue nations have them or will get them. They will use them unless they are stopped.

If we don't stop the possible use of nuclear weapons we will end it all. Look at what's happening today in the Middle East and China, do you think the radicals won't use the bomb if they have it? They will get them form China or North Korea. Soon it may

Lyrics
MANHATTAN PROJECT
It was called the Manhattan Project our scientists found a way
To split the Goddamn atom and unleash a nuclear display.
We dropped one on Nagasaki one on Hiroshima too
Thousands died in a few days, it?s the Manhattan Project Way
chorus
If you can sense the bombs a flying and hear explosions through the night
Or see the darkness shattered by red and yellow light
We must pray for our survival, We must pray for all mankind
Let man love one another and leave the Manhattan Project behind
We crawled out of the ocean then one day we stood.
And multiplied and worked our backs to provide shelter and food
And finally finite thinking became the order of the day
To improve life as we know it, but it may all be blown away
chorus
If you can sense the bombs a flying and hear explosions through the night
Or see the darkness shattered by red and yellow light
We must pray for our survival we must pray for all mankind
Let man love one another and leave the Manhattan Project behind
bridge
Is this thing we call mankind doomed today as it stands
Or are the Gods just deceivers, waiting for the day
That the non-believers blow all we know away
We crawled out of the ocean midst this planet?s fiery din
In order to exist at all we might have to crawl back in
chorus
If you can sense the bombs a flying and hear explosions through the night
Or see the darkness shattered by red and yellow light
We must pray for our survival we must pray for all mankind
Let man love one another and leave the Manhattan Project behind
We gotta get our shit together
Or it will all blow away
Let?s not blow ourselves to hell
