Genie In the Bottle


	
Only foolhardy Homer simpletons
wanna rub this lamp ...

Release the purging power of the hydroGen

All divided brainiac Lisa Simpsons
should be in one camp ...

Keeping a cap on the atomic bottle

It’s madness to proceed any other way
To argue otherwise,
will invariably 
bring about a terrible,  mushroom day

Don’t open the hydroGen bottle,
and pour out the evil jinn 
that will corruptly destroy souls

Don’t let the genie out of the bottle,
please have it rainbow ark sealed closed
We can’t open another Nagasaki window

Keep that seductive Jeannie in the bottle,
I don’t wanna dream of her anymore
Close your global eyes to the temptation, I urgently implore

New York, New York — 
double helix potion lab concocted 
to end a deux World War

Secret Manhattan science project
was bombs away     ...     Los Alamos
extinction level successful

They released the power of the Atom,
father Kelvin of the Eva hyrodGen

And ever since, 
they’ve been drunkenly trying
to put the jinn back in the bottle again

Putting the nuclear toothpaste back in
the textbook tube
is centrifugal enamel hard as sin

Technology got an Empire State 
pre-emptive Strike win
But the opened bottle of supernova power,
got so many other nations coveting

Nobody wanted to loophole tie 
the uranium loose ends
Therefore, sadly, it’s inevitable ... 
another mushroom 
Apocalypse primordial soup day
is on the near horizon 

Don’t open the hydroGen bottle,
and pour out that intoxicating elixir jinn 
that will mutation destroy souls

Don’t let the genie out of the bottle,
please have it brimstone rain sealed closed
We can’t open another Hiroshima window

Keep that Jezebel Jeannie in the bottle,
I don’t wanna ever dream of her anymore
Close your global eyes to the power lure, I strongly implore

Hope that lamp don’t wash up on your shore ... 
or Springtime peace you will sorely miss
Mid-summer lips dread her nuclear kiss,
which will make it an ash glow winter forever

They released the power of the Atom,
father Kelvin of the Eva hyrodGen

And ever since, 
they’ve been futilely trying
to put the genie back in the bottle again

Don’t set the world on fire!
Make the ancient foundations tremble,
with a uranium shout

Please don’t let the hydroGen Jeannie out,
don’t bottle kiss that power drunk tramp
Place your hand over the mad reactor throttle

Oh please don’t rub that lamp!
Wish to God, you’ll never open that bottle
Don’t let the genie out!
Radio activation is a death message motto

Incredibly scary world, no wonder a person escapes into a forest....have to read this one again, then again...maybe not. I'm a masochist, I'll read it again.
