San Onofre Blues (Live at Belly Up)

Well I woke up this morning
With radiation on my mind
So I took a walk to the beach
Just to see what I could find
There was 3.6 million pounds
Of toxic Nuclear Waste
Being put in cans up on the beach
With so much haste

Now I've got the blues
San Onofre Blues

Yeah we got 18 million Californians
And we're all well within reach
Of all this Toxic Waste stored in the ground on the beach
I think the government gone crazy
Saying, "What else can we do?"
"We gotta take all of that waste out of the boobs,
and put it on the beaches for you!"

Now I've got the blues
San Onofre Blues
And I think you're gonna get them too!
San Onofre Blues

Them San Onofre Blues you know they really got a hold of me
Cause I know this ain't the way Southern California supposed to be
I say its time we all grab our pitch forks
And tell Edison Hell No!
All that Toxic Waste on the beach has got to go!

Cause I've got the blues
San Onofre Blues
And I think you're gonna get them too!
San Onofre Blues

We'll be canaries in the coal mine
When we all start to glow
We'll say we saw it coming
They'll say they didn't know
We'll be canaries in the coal mine
When we all start to glow
We'll say we saw it coming
They'll say they didn't know
How could you not know!? Liars!

So if you wake up tomorrow with them San Onofre Blues
You better tell your friends and your neighbors so they can join us too
You know the media won't touch this, nah, its gonna take you and me
To spread the word of Radiation 100 feet from the sea

Now I got the blues
San Onofre Blues
And I think you're gonna get them too!
San Onofre Blues
You know that I've got the blues
San Onofre Blues
And I think you're gonna get them too!
Them San Onofre Blues
Oh its getting too hot
There's an earthquake, there's erosion
Its getting to hot, oh no, we can't move it
It's in the ground, where are we gonna put it?
