They Lie We Die Lyrics - Singles - Flux Of Pink Indians

atomic electricity is just a filthy mess and waste 

it makes you wonder why they bother with such risks entailed 

is it just a coincidence this atomic power makes 

an energy source of uranium from which atom bombs are being made 

behind our backs they scheme and dig mine and your graves 

behind our backs they laugh as their shelters are being made 

out of sight, on the quiet, the plans are being neatly laid 

while we sit wasting time in the safe ignored shade 

what if soon we were all out in the sun 

dodging the fallout, trying to hide or run 

we need to stop it now before they've begun 

don't wait to be asked, no questionnaire will come 

they lie we die 

we've left it in their bloody hands for far too long 

atomic energy is gonna finance their bomb 

they think they fight wars on mine and your behalf 

so let's bloody tell 'em, you've got it fucking wrong 

what about the people in far off remote places 

they never even knew bombs exist 

they'll never have the chance to say or protest 

that they didn't want their lives blown to bits 

they lie we die 

when they crawl from their shelters they'll start it all again 

it makes you wonder who are these powermad women and men? 

so that in a hundred years they'll be as strong as before 

but as usual, at no expense to them 

it's no use saying "oh it's too late" 

it's no use saying "that it will never happen" 

it's no use saying "that's the way it goes" 

is it really the way you wanna go ? 

they lie we die 

they sigh we cry 

we burn they learn 

they lie we fry 

they dream we scream 

they lie we die 

is it really the way you wanna go
