White Sands - Planet P Project, Tony Carey

I was a teenager when JFK said

We’ll send a man to the moon and bring him back safely.

Well, he had some help…

Now how cynical is this?

Operation paperclip, at the end of world war 2

Brought the german scientific hierarchy to america —

To design and implement the space program at white sands, new mexico…

Pontius Pilate had less blood on his hands than this bunch —

My hands are bleeding…

In the middle of a conflagration

In the air over london town

Like a boy’s imagination

Spaceships come raining down

In a cave in peenemünde

In the last hours of the fight

In the middle of the bleeding and the wounded

The good doctor plans his flight

That’s all over now

We fought to our last man

I need atonement now

To wash my bleeding hands

In white sands

I still can’t stop the voices

Of the ones who starved and died

I made my own choices

But can’t kill those screams inside

I’m a man of science first

Put the first man on the moon

The french are bad, the russians are worse

Hope the americans get here soon

But that’s all over now

We fought to our last man

I need atonement now

To wash my bleeding hands

In white sands

My hands are bleeding…
