About

“137” is a philosophical account of the end of the world via nuclear annihilation. It portrays the carelessness with which mankind seems to treat conflict in the era of mutually assured destruction and yet another nail in the coffin of the narrator’s religious faith – the very idea that a benevolent...

137 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Under the ocean
Next to a boiling vent
He's none the wiser
Earth's only resident
It piled up
Man, it was wall to wall
Blink of an eye
And all the problems solved

[Chorus]
Let's all go play Nagasaki
We can all get vaporised
Hold my hand, let's turn to ash
I'll see you on the other side

[Radio comm sample]
Hey it’s D1
I don’t know why it’s been so crazy... I haven’t gotten any letters from you in the last 2 days... I guess the mail kind of screwed up too...when the both of us get here it always is... If there wasn’t a war going on this place would be pretty nice

[Verse 2]
Before the garden
When you were all alone
You made the atom
Was that some inside joke
Open the gates
And then conceal the path
Let's load the gun
And see how long they last

[Radio comm sample]
“There goes the siren again
Oh, there, goes another round I gotta- uh, go to a bunker now"

[Chorus]
Let's go ring and run the bunkers
Baby won't you come outside?
Across the sea the birds are free
Let's watch them scream across the sky
Let's all go and meet our maker
They don't care whose side you're on
We're so afraid, I prayed and prayed
Before I learned to love the bomb

[Radio comm sample]
They won’t send you over to the side you’re not—He’s… he’s brave and he’s always going to that bunker, so don’t worry about him... No I’m not, there’s just not much more to say... Give my love to your parents and to my parents... I’ll send them a few things as soon as I get to where I’m going to—Soon I’ll be back home with my love, soon...I’ll be...But yeah... P.S. Duke, I love you

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
Let's all go play Nagasaki
What a lovely way to die
A final show and we all go
So no one has to say goodbye
Let's all go and meet our maker
Won't matter whose side you're on
We're so afraid, I prayed and prayed
When God told me to love the bomb

451 - 137 = 314 = 143 There's got to be a pattern in the numbers.

Nope, 137 refers to a radioactive isotope of Cesium (Connecting to the song’s themes of nuclear war), and 451 is widely thought to be a reference to Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 (though not much in the actual lyrics really backs that up).
