Words and music by dar williams

Once upon a time there was a nuclear family,

And we lived in a family time,

And wed unite in a family way.

And off the ancient mountain,

They were splitting every nucleus.

They said dont be alarmed,

Just dont try this at home.

And they were the mystery that made the world run

And we had the power, cause they were the sun

And we called them our heroes, and the future had come.

They said,look at the light were giving you,

And the darkness were saving you from.

Soon they were bringing it into our showroom,

And theyd unveil it with its title,

Bring your family, bring your family,

Its the great unknown.

You can look, but you cant fathom,

Its the great unknown.

Im no ordinary princess, I was born in the cold war,

And my team is the rockets.

Go team, its a dangerous time.

And I dream of the moon and building lunar clone colonies.

And I build my peace with strength, thats the best weapon youve

Got.

Oh, I am the brainchild, I am the mortar,

With a plastic trophy and an eating disorder,

And vision as big as a great big wall,

And they tell me that Ill move forward for the good of us all,

And the good of nuclear families all.

And they think I think I am important.

I know I never was, no I wasnt.

No I never, and how could I be?

Its the great unknown.

Now weve built it, now its ticking,

Its the great unknown.

And I am your children, I am millions.

And I wanted to sell out, I wanted to try,

But you know the sky got too low, and the ocean got too high.

And I tried to take God into my own hands.

Am I too late? is it over?

Have I sacrificed my family to the great unknown?

Theres a war between my conscience and the great unknown.

So I walked out into the gamma fields

Out in mercury, nevada.

Where I stood in circle and that circle started to pray.

And the wind at the nuclear test sights floats the data at the radiation.

From the underground testing,

Cross the line, youll get arrested.

And we came from all over in a silent appeal

As the drill comes down like a presidential seal.

And we stand for the living, and we stand for the dead,

And we looked out to see your enemies,

And we see that youre looking all at us instead.

And you think I am being disruptive?

But no Im running home, Im running,

cause Im trying to put the atom back together.

Its the great unknown.

Im just trying to put the atom back together.

Its the great unknown.
