They took away my garden   To make room for a chemical plant   I feel my country's arteries harden   With the aid of a government grant   Chorus:   We are not a bunch of upstarts   Just out l   ooking for a cause   We hunger for our justice   And not applause   We don't just make peace signs and meditate   We don't take this thing as a joke   We just want to relate - we're in a pretty bad state   And we don't want to go up in smoke   My water has got cancer   And the rivers have all dried   While I watch my country practice   Nuclear suicide   Chorus   Don't think it's impossible   To see this thing come clean   We're going to save this poor old world's head   From the guillotine   Chorus/Solo   They took away my garden   (My water has got cancer)   To make room for a chemical plant   (And the rivers have all dried)   I feel my country's arteries harden   (While I watch my country practice)   Nuclear suicide   Chorus   Oh Lord, we don't want to see our children go up in smoke
