Harrisburg

Lyrics

The empire rings The umpire's not laughing The President's resented The Ambassador's a night club You cannot get it out It's stuff you cannot taste or see It's stuff you cannot smell It's stuff that's twenty times as hot As the hottest stuff in hell Harrisburg, oh Harrisburg The plant is melting down The people out in Harrisburg Are getting out of town And when the stuff gets in You cannot get it out The company said it would not blow The Government said it might Harrisburg, Oh Harrisburg I wonder who was right Who can leave it behind The curtains are drawn There's something I must say to you You cannot get it out (Moginie/Kevans)
