A mushroom cloud, and blast of heat
Would surely bring you to your feet
But its the leak you never see
That sneaks up on both you and meAnd experts say there is no threat
But its your life they want to bet
They never jump into the thick
They only spout their rhetoricWell, I know all about liars
I know all about cheats
I know about backroom justice
And everything it defeatsIts critical mass confusion ... a boardroom power play
Once its turned to poison ... its always gonna stay
Its critical mass confusion ... seeing the truth is hard
Until a new reactor ... appears in your back yardIts easy just to let things go
And hope the problems never grow
But just the slightest flaw could be
Potential death and agonyThe final thing I'd like to say
Before we melt ourselves away
Is let your flintstones all retire
Until you learn to stop the fireWell, I know all about liars
I know all about cheats
I know about backroom justice
And everything it defeatsIts critical mass confusion ... a boardroom power play
Once its turned to poison ... its always gonna stay
Its critical mass confusion ... seeing the truth is hard
Until a new reactor ... appears in your back yard
