Hey little darling   There's something that you should know   This things gonna hound every soul   This thing they won't let us go   Gonna break us down to nothing   Gonna eat us from the inside out   Hey little darling   I don't want you to feeling the fallout      Ah when the cancer finally took him   I was watching the trucks pull in   Me and your daddy we had a job   Under the ground mining uranium   Some things your daddy leaves you   Some things he don't   Some things are gonna be here anyhow   And some things just won't   One thing I want you to understand   Is you ain't gotta be no mining man   I curse the day that I went down   And I pulled that shit out of the ground      Now we were living over in nevada   That's where your people come from   Your grandma would take me and your daddy   On down to the gunnery range   We sit and watch the bombs blow   Until the sun goes down   All those colors running like the painted desert   And you get to see it now      Them government boys have something so damn secret   They had to hide it in the desert sand   Out there the skies so big   And there ain't no mistaking it   Whose got the winning hand      Ah   Ah ah ah ah         I said I've been all the way to alaska   To a town they call point of hope   Where they took some of what we got down here   Just to see how it would grow   I hear the lichen bought it   And now it's running through the caribou   I said soon little darling   You'll get to feel it too   Get to feel it too   Oh I said soon little darling   You'll get to feel it to   Hmm hmm hmm yeah   Oh yeah hmm hmm   Hmm hmm hmm   Oh yeah hmm hmm   Hmm hmm hmm
