[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron]
I heard they’re building a factory down in South Carolina
With a death potential that’s uncontrolled by government designers
It would house atomic waste and be a constant reminder
That they got a great big timebomb ticking in South Carolina
[Chorus: Gil Scott-Heron with Background Vocals by Victor Brown and Brian Jackson]
Said whatever happened to the protests and the rage?
Whatever happened to the voices of the sane?
Whatever happened to the people who gave a damn?
Didn’t they just apply to dying in the jungle of Vietnam?
[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron]
Said they’re building a great big factory down in South Carolina
And the trains will roll cross-country with their cargo behind ‘em
They could take a million lives, my brother, need I remind you?
And they got no respect for human life in South Carolina
