Down in
Hazy Checkpoint people still demonstrating, no time for waiting
Still the minority, most don’t care, don’t know
what’s priority
Don’t that air and water scare you, fire comes later
You’ll see it all turn blue, when you hide in that crater
Look back to the past, it wasn’t so long ago,
And if it ain’t the last, some will say I told you so
Misinformation, cover up
across the nation
Caught in the Prometheus
trap, as we dance to the radiation rap
That blade of grass is crying, the trees are sighing
and dying
What they’ve created is manipulated,
Sensitivity melting down quicker than reactors, bring
on the tractors
And helicopters pouring water, lock up your sons and
daughters
Kenji Miyazawa, Rachel Carson, raging in their graves
About a mentality still emerging from the caves
Time to take a stand, save our one and only land
Before we’re wiped off the map, as we dance to the radiation
rap
Ten-year plans hit for six, twenty-year-old plants,
okay, they’re in the sticks
Away from the city, not on their genkan, but they’ll
give you their pity,
Strontium 90, absorb it nightly, you won’t get off
lightly, half-life very likely
Keep counting those becquerels, don’t count on
anything else
Like the nuclear village, we all know where it’s been
Turn this item round and you’ll see what I mean
They’ll tell you they’re pragmatic, while they’re fixed on
automatic
When we’re on the last lap, who’s gonna take the radiation
rap?
