The sky is red and the earth is black

1990 and we haven't looked back

Put it on a jumbo, send it overseas

Got a lot of money now who needs trees?

We've all got jobs now, no more dole

Plenty of money now uranium's sold

I'll ensure supply won't stop

Because I'm Australia's Nuclear Cop

Well I guard the world and its plain to see

I'll look after you after looking after me

Of peace and safety I'll make sure

At least until someone offers me more

We've all got boats, planes and more

Twenty-five fingers that's a bore

I've got no brains but I'm right at the top

'Cause I'm Australia's Nuclear Cop

It's never been better in this land of dreams

Cake and steak and American jeans

Stuart Highway's sealed at last

They can get the ore to the airport fast

Adelaide galleries full of art

Nothing's too dear and for a start

I'll come and inspect your uranium shop

'Cause I'm Australia's Nuclear Cop

They've sprinkled the waste around Ayers Rock

Given the tourists a bit of a shock

It used to be a black mans sacred site

Now it glows like a neon light

Landscape like a Salvador Dali

We all spend our summers on Bali

I used to be a farmer till my sheep all dropped

Doug Anthony made me a Nuclear Cop

Melt down, turn around, where do you hide?

Can't let your mutants play outside

Put your Geiger counter near your airtight door

Watch it jiggle and hear it roar

There's so much to celebrate

Living in Australia's uranium state

Parliament House is Leukemia Lodge

And standing at the door is a Nuclear Cop!
