It's not until you think on it
The reason's plain to see,
I'm sure it will reduce the cost
Of electricity.
I know the day is not far off
I'll night my home for free
Because if there is an accident
The light will come from me.

They say that if there is a need
We can evacuate.
To think in an emergency
Such men decide my fate.
They think one can just drive away
If things start to get hot.
And the route they've picked is the L.I.E.
The world' largest parking lot.

But if there is an accident,
You needn't go so far.
Those isotopes will get to you
Before you get to your car.
The plan might seem quite silly, but
The reason's even worse.
They're giving me the privilege
Of driving my own hearse.

Now I'm not a religious man
But believe me when I say,
We'll have to look to heaven
To keep Lilco at bay.
We'll get free power from the sun
It shines 'most every day.
And when the sun stops burning,
Well, we're all screwed anyway

Repeat verse one
