Operation Ivy

Operation Ivy was the eighth series of American nuclear tests, coming after Tumbler-Snapper and before Upshot-Knothole. Its purpose was to help upgrade the U.S. arsenal of nuclear weapons in response to the Soviet nuclear weapons program. The two explosions were staged in late 1952 at Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific Proving Ground in the Marshall Islands. more »

Concrete and chaos rise up 
Spiderweb across the land 
Like a giant rash 
Forests lie down below 
Foundations of buildings in a bed of ash 
Some people here got it real good 
'Cause the glass towers bring prosperity 
And other people starve in the street 
Because concrete knows no sympathy

Big city
Big city
Big city, it's a wishing well 
Big city, it's a living hell 

This town it's fucking insane 
How one will starve and another will gain 
It's like a giant mechanical brain 
And the people are cells and the streets are veins 
It thinks only of itself 
A thousand limbs crawling as it expands and grows 
And still the concrete sits there 
Sits there stark grey and cold 

Big city

Big city
Big city
Big city, it's a wishing well 
Big city, it's a living hell 

And I think I wanna be a brick layer 
So I can put another brick in the wall 
It's sanitary rational and happy and sane 
Growing like a flower to surround us all

Big city, it's a living hell

Big city, it's a wishing well 
Big city, it's a living hell
