Lyrics
Nuclear Waste - we don't want that Nuclear Waste - we don't need that Nuclear Waste - we've got to leave this Nuclear age behind in our time A faste breeder breaks all the rules gives us something for nothing - that ain't true and who makes the profit? - not me and you And who takes the risks? - we all do! Nuclear Waste - we don't want that Nuclear Waste - but we can't get rid of that Nuclear Waste - you're hoping we'll get used to it Nuclear Waste - I've had enough of it. Do you find it attractive to be radioactive emitting killing rays? Splitting your atoms with a fission reaction transmitting out of phase? Strontium 90 - Strontium 90 I wanna live to see 1999 There's enough energy in the air and in the sea To give us power to live in peace and harmony Nuclear Waste - we don't get used to your Nuclear Waste - ultimate pollution Nuclear Waste - produces mutation Nuclear Waste - it's not evolution Nuclear Waste - you know the solution New Killer Waste - better active today New Killer Waste - than radioactive tomorrow New Killer Waste- need a cure for cancer? New Killer Waste- need the real answer New Killer Waste- fusion not fission New Killer Waste- let me put my arms around your Nuclear Waste - damaging my lettuces Nuclear Waste - jamming my transmission Nuclear Waste - damaging my vision Nuclear Waste
