Poison from some atom bomb experiments
Turned up twenty years later in the streams of Jersey City
Invisible contamination causin who knows what mutation
The plague is invisible but it sure ain't pretty
Chemicals dumped in Times Beach, Missouri
And all the A.M.A. can say is that it's
Too soon to call it dangerous
Kinda gives you confidence in the medical profession
Nice to know that everything is arranged for us
Then the government calls a commission
To investigate themselves
And round up all the perpetrators and bail em out
The underground water is contaminated
There's no national system to check it out
Just a national system to contaminate it
A national disgrace and a race with doubt
Coal and chemicals, byproducts of buyoffs
Trickle down and seep into our sustenance
Kinda funny, kinda stupid
Kinda terrifying
Kinda gets you thinkin, kinda gets you cryin
Either somebody's stupid, or somebody's lyin
Industry is dumpin and pumpin poison
Into the land and the water and the air and the brain
They got a lotta nerve, they got a lotta muscle
Enough to shove us all down the drain
Then the corporation calls a commission
To investigate themselves
And round up all the perpetrators
And put em in charge
Kinda gets you thinkin, kinda gets you cryin
Either they're all stupid, or they're all lyin
