Malvina Reynolds - Power Plant Reggae lyrics

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 k**ing a flea with a gun. k**ing 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 k**ing a gnat with a bomb. k**ing 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.
