Dallin Schmidt - Gone Fission [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
The 1979 accident ...
Three Mile Island ..
Severely damaged the reactor core...
The explosion blew apart the frame of the top of the building ...
Sustained significant damage ...
Catches fire and explodes...

[Hook]
Oh, you looking at nuclear fission power?
Taking some risks, y'all got some ambition now
How much radioactive waste we make in an hour?
I bet 300 hundred thousand years from now
Our kids will call us cowards
Now y'all gone fission, and I'm no politician
But that's conflict of agreement, I'm not sure what y'all envisioned
That's signed under all conditions, Mother Nature's not forgiving
The time came to save the world and now all of y'all just gone fission

[Verse 1]
Long ago in December of 1938 in Germany
Meitner and Frisch discovered something
Like really great, opened the gates
Manhattan project, atomic bomb
Give it to me straight, at odds with the soviets
You know the japs, hope like curfew
You know they were out way too late
Then we dropped Fat Man like cleaning your dinner plate
Besides nuclear in military, it was really scary
But now we got energy and fewer enemies
It works for us - we harnessed chemistry
Splitting uranium - Increasing entropy
Get your lead ready, these rays no remedy
[There has been an accident at the Chernobyl atomic power station]
Watch for the tragedy, Reagan and Kennedy
Plants are so fragile we make them expensive
Backwards a travesty, heat to the steam
Got fancy gadgetry, what does this mean
We don't know what's gonna happen
We must therefore go right now and take action
Look at the effects you enacting
You're an assassin
Yeah this is for real, no you're not imagining
Care about fission like fashion?
You'll know its easier, but not what's happening
This is like chicken, no napkins
This like a talent show, but no one clapping
Meitner, Frisch, Rutherford, Bohr
They all had that passion but nothing more
They're a lot like used fuel rods
Now though they're "worthless," they once were the core

[Hook]

[Verse 2]
Now how'd you like to be caught
Thinking about the long term? (I would)
The right way to go is NOT fission
Hey, did you hear that Switzerland plant burned?
They're lookin' for that
[Head start on tomorrow
Head - head start on tomorrow - morrow]
That's twenty years before three mile
Not eight mile, we were trying to fuel Apollo
Okay sure, no heat generated CO2
And the radiations are harmless (you know)
It's cost effective right now
But potential debt might be ringing up commas
Talkin' bout nuclear meltdown
Talkin' about ice caps and hot saunas
In east Asia we call that kind of thing karma
This could have been the Bahamas
[America must start building nuclear power plants]
Listen to reason, y'all know this ain't alien
What's splitting uranium do to the cranium?
I know it's not safe but right now I'm defending him
Bush didn't know necessarily what would be felt
Fukushima like property that you can't sell
Limitless fuel you know, nuclear on the go
We can have this in two decades; It's not that slow
We gotta have more, the way people grow
Studying in San Francisco
Magnetic, inertial confinement
Better environment
Fission though has no asylum
Unless you don't want energy to improve
Unless you want the human race to lose
Petition for fusion but you have to choose

[Hook]

[Outro]
We know this is one of the most contaminated places on Earth
