Music & Lyrics: Marie-Lynn Hammond

well it’s sweeping ’cross the nation
but it’s not a dance
it’s sweeping cross the nation
and you don’t stand a chance
with radiation [radiation]
oh yeah radiation [radiation]
you’d better start a demonstration
at your local hydro station *
radiation

well they dump it in the lake
and they dump it in the sea
it gets into the fish
then the fish get into me
it’s radiation [radiation]
ah-ha it’s radiation [radiation]
you’d better start a demonstration
at your local hydro station
radiation

Mulroney** tells me that the levels are safe
but hell, what does that mean?
I woke up this morning
I counted my toes
my God, I had sixteen!

well they give us a choice
as to how we can go
we can either blow up
or we can go real slow
with radiation [radiation]
yeah radiation [radiation]

you’d better start a demonstration
at your local hydro station
start a demonstration
to prevent proliferation
start a demonstration
for to stop the mass mutation
radiation

for you know one head
is better than two

* Electrical power generation plants in Canada are often called hydro stations
