Radium Rain Bruce Cockburn

[Verse 1]
They're hosing down trucks at the border
Under a rainbow sign
Raindrops falling on my head
Burn into my mind
On a hillside in the distance
There's a patch of green sunshine

[Chorus]
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame, yeah
About the radium rain

[Verse 2]
Everyday in the paper
You can watch the numbers rise
No such event can overtake us here
We're much too wise
In the meantime don't eat anything that grows
And don't breathe when the cars go by

[Chorus]
Ain't it a shame
Ain't it a shame
About the radium rain
