Unclear Nuclear Prerogatives
It's such an unclear nuclear prerogative....
That takes the people from their natural home.
It's an unconscious governmental policy,
That lets the people bear it all alone.
The businessman, he wants money,
The politician wants to make more jobs.
The little man on the land needs a paycheck, so he can feed his family
But in a hundred thousand years to come,
When the mining jobs will all be gone
Then we're left with a mess that no one wants, and no way to dispose of it.
Oh, the man on the street sees tomorrow,
And that new car that he's just gotta drive.
But his children's children will get out of here; that's if they survive.
And when the money's all gone back to the government
And your UIC runs out?
And the rivers are polluted, and the fish swim upside down...(whatcha gonna do?)
Because of unclear nuclear prerogatives
That takes the people from their natural home
Such an uncertain future for Canadians,
Because the people bear it all alone..............
Take it out of my yard and
my garden
Keep it out of my lungs and my hair
If you think it's good for you,
Then stuff it in your own shoes and walk right out of here!
