modern building in our town.
I joked that soon we'd all go down.
They said: "Brand new high technology,
Just as safe as it can be."
Nobody doubted the security affirms
Of the government and the industrial firms.
These power plants seemed quite strange to me
Just as safe as the ought to be.

Then came the day, no one cared about
After putting the plant [bad word] operation.
One saw it from afar, a huge detonation.
People fled at once, but most were dying.
Ten years after this catastrophe
All what disused men will see
Is brand new high technology
Just as safe as it ought to be.
