Power Plant Reggae

Malvina Reynolds

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 killing a flea with a gun

Killing 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 boilеr
Or on the gas stove at home
But making stеam in a nuclear plant
Is like killing a gnat with a bomb

Killing 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
