"Somebody exploded an H-bomb today, but it wasn't anybody I knew"-What the-?

Best lyrics ever?

@Tom_And_Jerry Exactly, back in the 60's, the H-bomb was big news with many people in the streets protesting it's development. It's sounds confusing when he writes "but it wasn't anyone he knew," referencing, I assume, that "somebody" exploded the bomb, but whoever it was, he didn't know them, not getting it that it was a country, not a person.
