A tongue in cheek song - questioning the wisdom of nukes as a power generating option.

acoustic guitars
Story behind the song
While in a band " The Fleshapoids " New England way.
Dave and Steve fronted the band and had this song as a featured tune.
I absolutely loved it brought it to Colorado with me. Wrote a second verse with local connotations.
Our views on atomic energy who controls it ( really? whom controls whom? ) the politics of it all
Lyrics
I went to Three Mile Island
I got something to eat.
I and I started glowing
on I hands and on I feet.
Then I started throwing,
Up all I eat.
-- Chorus--
Oh Mister President,
Tell us the truth.
All that you give us.
The nukes till we Puke.
-- v2--
I moved up high in the Rockies,
Far from acid rain.
But out from my window
I see the stacks of ST. Vrain.
Can it be that we cant control
the power that weve tapped?
I dont wont to trust my soul
To some cats in Politcal hats'
--Chorus--
Oh Mr. President'
Tell us the truth.
All that you give us.
The nukes till we Puke.
