They Lie, We Die

atomic electricity is just a filthy mess and waste
 it makes you wonder why they bother with such risks entailed
 is it just a coincidence this atomic power makes
 an energy source of uranium from which atom bombs are being made
 behind our backs they scheme and dig mine and your graves
 behind our backs they laugh as their shelters are being made
 out of sight, on the quiet, the plans are being neatly laid
 while we sit wasting time in the safe ignored shade
 what if soon we were all out in the sun
 dodging the fallout, trying to hide or run
 we need to stop it now before they've begun
 don't wait to be asked, no questionnaire will come
 they lie we die
 we've left it in their bloody hands for far too long
 atomic energy is gonna finance their bomb
 they think they fight wars on mine and your behalf
 so let's bloody tell 'em, you've got it fucking wrong
 what about the people in far off remote places
 they never even knew bombs exist
 they'll never have the chance to say or protest
 that they didn't want their lives blown to bits
 they lie we die
 when they crawl from their shelters they'll start it all again
 it makes you wonder who are these powermad women and men?
 so that in a hundred years they'll be as strong as before
 but as usual, at no expense to them
 it's no use saying "oh it's too late"
 it's no use saying "that it will never happen"
 it's no use saying "that's the way it goes"
 is it really the way you wanna go?
 they lie we die
 they sigh we cry
 we burn they learn
 they lie we fry
 they dream we scream
 they lie we die
 is it really the way you wanna go
