Why Harry Truman Sucked: The Song

#33. Harry S. Truman

Em, C, G, D/F#

Oh Truman, it’s not your show. You don’t get to decide who goes.
Hiroshima. Nagasaksi. August ’45.
Quarter million mere civilians radioactively died.

It’s simple math you said.
You saved more lives than invading Japan.
But you killed a quarter million civilians.
and you fueled the arms race to come.

Am, C, G, D/F#
There’s a nuclear option.
And there’s a crazy man pushing sorts of buttons
In world war II
Which one were you?
