We were working secretly
00:11
For the military
00:15
Our experiment in sound
00:22
Was nearly ready to begin
00:25
We only know in theory
00:32
What we are doing
00:35
Music made for pleasure
00:43
Music made to thrill
00:46
It was music we were making here until
00:54
They told us
01:01
All they wanted
01:03
Was a sound that could kill someone
01:05
From a distance
01:08
So we go ahead
01:10
And the meters are over in the red
01:12
It's a mistake in the making
01:15
From the painful cry of mothers
01:27
To the terrifying scream
01:31
We recorded it and put it into our machine
01:38
But they told us
01:45
All they wanted
01:47
Was a sound that could kill someone
01:49
From a distance
01:52
So we go ahead
01:54
And the meters are over in the red
01:56
It's a mistake in the making
01:59
It could feel like falling in love
02:10
It could feel so bad
02:16
But it could feel so good
02:23
It could sing you to sleep
02:31
I'd bet my mum's gonna give me a little toy instrument
02:35
But that dream is your enemy
02:38
We won't be there to be blamed
02:47
We won't be there to snitch
02:50
I just pray that someone there
02:57
Can hit the switch
03:00
But they told us
03:05
All they wanted
03:06
Was a sound that could kill someone
03:08
From a distance
03:12
So we go ahead
03:13
And the meters are over in the red
03:15
It's a mistake we've made
03:19
And the public are warned to stay off
03:36
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
We were working secretly
For the military
Our experiment in sound
Was nearly ready to begin
We only know in theory
What we are doing
Music made for pleasure
Music made to thrill
It was music we were making here until
They told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance
So we go ahead
And the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake in the making
From the painful cry of mothers
To the terrifying scream
We recorded it and put it into our machine
But they told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance
So we go ahead
And the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake in the making
It could feel like falling in love
It could feel so bad
But it could feel so good
It could sing you to sleep
I'd bet my mum's gonna give me a little toy instrument
But that dream is your enemy
We won't be there to be blamed
We won't be there to snitch
I just pray that someone there
Can hit the switch
But they told us
All they wanted
Was a sound that could kill someone
From a distance
So we go ahead
And the meters are over in the red
It's a mistake we've made
And the public are warned to stay off
