Power Plant Reggae

You can make steam in a boiler,

Or from the light of the sun,

But making steam in a nuclear plant

Is like shooting a fly with a gun.

Shooting a fly with a gun,

And the gun cost a billion or two.

If the gun gets hot

And the shooter gets shot,

The whole world's down the flue.

You can make steam in a boiler

So the generator will run,

But making power in a nuclear plant

Is like killing a flea with a gun.

Killing a flea with a gun,

And the gun shoots more ways than one;

If the gun gives out

And the shooter gets shot,

The whole damn world is done.

You can make steam in a boiler

Or on the gas stove at home,

But making steam in a nuclear plant

Is like killing a gnat with a bomb.

Killing a gnat with a bomb,

And the bomb costs a million to shoot,

If the bomb gets a crack

You can't send it back,

There'll be nobody left to do it.

You can make steam in a boiler,

Or from the light of the sun,

But making steam in a nuclear plant

Is like shooting a fly with a gun.

Shooting a fly with a gun,

And the gun costs a billion or two.

If the gun gets hot

And the shooter gets shot,

The whole world's down the flue.
