China Syndrome

There goes the water where we find all the fish There goes the earth where we grow all the food There goes an ideological wish Another tenet of Darwin, misconstrued China Syndrome Melting and melting into the ground China Syndrome Burning and burning all the way down There goes a coal miner trying to help Another sad soldier with soot on his face There goes an agency that must mean well They've sent back his remains in a six-foot case There goes a forest gone belly-up There goes a species without a bed The sun won't shine, the winter won't let up Fallout bakes the fields that once gave bread China Syndrome… There goes the water where we find all the fish There goes the earth where we grow all the food There goes an ideological wish Another child of Darwin, torn from the brood
