You fear change and all that is new

Stand in the way of progress

Like primitive man: afraid of fire

'Til he explored it's many uses


[Guitar Solo]

The power of the atom at our disposal

Yet it's called unsafe

Nuclear energy, so clean and pure

Your ignorance is a disgrace

Do not resist!

It is your destiny!

Have we not all become

The Children of Technology?

Holding your fate in a magnetic grip

Of all your irrational fears

The shadow of machinery cast upon the flesh of man

Blood, sweat, and gears

The robots of dawn, offsprings of industry

Spot you in the cobalt blue light

One fell swoop and you've become a memory

Away with your intrusive life!

Into the reactor!

You worship a dead man hung with nails

Only a fool would die for the sins of humanity

On your knees before electronics

Let's replace this religious insanity

Tear down the churches, instead on the ground

Build there the holy reactors

Give us, the Children, science and math

In place of Bibles and pastors

You bleeding heart liberals who oppose the N.R.C

Must be compelled to retire

You serve only as obstacles, and should be used

To fuel the nuclear pyre!

Do not resist

For it is your destiny!

Have we all simply become

The Children, The Children of Technology?
