"Don't Know Much"
(tune by Sam Cooke)

Don't know much about cesium
Don't know much about strontium
Don't know much about tritium
Or what to do with plutonium.
But I know that if we don't compose
substances of which we can't dispose,
what a wonderful world this would be.

I don't wanna wear a dosimeter.
Don't wanna calculate rems and seiverts.
I don't want to see no clean-up crews
and get zapped before I hear the news.
Small-release-no-danger, so they say.
But if we never had to see that day,
what a wonderful world this would be.

(refrain)
Some folks say better get with the program,
nukes are with us for good.
They just want the ionizing radiation
in some other neighborhood.

Atomic fission makes a lot of dough
for some who never want to let it go.
But we can use the heat from earth and sun.
Hook the wind to make the engines run.
If common sense could only start
a chain reaction of the human heart,
what a wonderful world this would be.
