Karen's Car (Live Helsinki 1980)

What are your own sins?
Sins

What Are your trying to say?
Karen Silkwood's car was cut off the road
On the 13th of November 1974

And the patrolman, who found the body
Remembered papers scattered about the scene of the crime

Hotter than a thousand suns
Hotter than a thousand suns

This was the evidence
She'd been collecting
About breaches of safety regulations
At Camiguin nuclear power station

Hotter than a thousand suns
Hotter than a thousand suns

She was delivering the evidence
To the New York times
Later at the garage
There were some visitors
From the atomic, authorities
The files were never found
The files were never found

Hotter than a thousand suns
Hotter than a thousand suns

One month
One month earlier
Someone had tried to poison her with plutonium
Contaminated cheese, In her fridge

Hotter than a thousand suns
Hotter than a thousand suns

The nuclear industry
And the government that support it
The nuclear industry
And the government that supports it

I'll prefer to lie
Faulty by documents
Faulty by information
And probably kill
And probably kill
To protect their profits
To deceive the public
To protect their profits
To deceive the public

Hotter than a thousand suns

Power corrupt
Nuclear power corrupt absolutely
Power, power corrupts
Nuclear power corrupts absolutely
Power, power corrupts
Nuclear power corrupts absolutely

Hotter than a thousand suns
Hotter than a thousand suns
