They Lie, We Die
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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?
