What is the only provocation that could bring about the use of nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the priority target for nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. What is the only established defense against nuclear weapons? Nuclear weapons. How do we prevent the use of nuclear weapons? By threatening the use of nuclear weapons. And we can't get rid of nuclear weapons, because of nuclear weapons. The intransigence, it seems, is a function of the weapons themselves.

Well, It's Nuclear...

well, it's nuclear rain,
voices without names,
faces etched in pain,
lives given in vain,
it's nuclear rain.
well, it's nuclear night.
cant tell wrong from right,
hope is out of sight,
men stand alone and fight.
it's nuclear night.
well, it's nuclear stillness.
past the point of forgiveness..
the dying cry out to witness.
the ego driven illness.
it's nuclear stillness.
well, it's nuclear devastation.
the home divided by the nation.
the individual sold to exploitation.
to bondage and incarceration.
it's nuclear devastation.

As a nuclear power - as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon - the United States has a moral responsibility to act.

The Hives - Declare Guerre Nucleaire

Had an atomic bore - in 2004
Did some atomic tricks - in 2006
Got out way late - in 2008
Let's do it all again - in 2010
Uh! [x6]
Ah! [x6]
Had an atomic bore - in 2004
Did some atomic tricks - in 2006
Got out way late - in 2008
I'm gonna do it all again - in 2010
And for 5....7.....9 and 11 the guess is yours.

Earthquakes Unleash Nuclear Rain

in an earthquake
nuclear power plants
are going to sway

relax if you like
your nuclear plant has not
been hit today

but on this be clear
an unprecedented season
vast global earthquakes
are coming for you

a season of nuclear flu
is sweeping over horizon
wave of radiation leaks
going atmospheric will rain

earthquake waves sweeping erupting
nuclear power security codes creaking

Imagine This

The large
remote controlled
nuclear drone
drops its atomic

Persia is gone
Imagine that.

Nuclear Buffets

Hydrogen weapons and wars!
But humanity is the key to life;
And forever never ends from today.

Before and after the atomic bomb,
We are now deeper into the dark than before;
And with atomic coctails and nuclear buffets!

Oh this energy hungry world! !
You are like the bride-price of the virgins;
And like the atom being split in 1938.

Compassion, kindness, patience, longsuffering and mercy;
You are the first one to do it but,
The parable of the talents took away the righteous fruits of your love.

Of a rock cut out without hands and of your atomic coctails,
And from within and without with your nuclear buffets;
But this is like the last ruling power on earth at this time around.

Atomic War

War!
The final ending to fights and control of others,
War!
Is war,
And comes with,
Such grave situations,

Of:
Victims first,
That brings in armed forces,
To defend and free,
Those,
That are oppressed and held down,
In suppression to others of nations,

Or,
Controller of peoples,
For:
Wanting their resources,
For their own nations,

Since the end of the Cold War two main nuclear powers have begun to make big reductions in their nuclear arsenals. Each of them is dismantling about 2,000 nuclear warheads a year.

Penn State in 1955 became the first university to be issued a federal license to operate a nuclear reactor, which it continues to use for studies in the peaceful uses of atomic energy and the training of nuclear industry personnel.

If we are really anxious not to have nuclear weapons in Iran, the first thing is to call an international conference on abolishing all nuclear weapons, including Israeli nuclear weapons.

I think the Iranians are clearly determined to have a nuclear program. And we have to assume that with a nuclear program they have the capability and the will to create a nuclear weapon.

Nuclear Testing

Nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands
Nuclear tests in the Soviet`s Kazakhstan
A mushroom of clouds
from the ground and the ocean
leaves a never ending legacy
of disfigured faces,
of mothers with jellyfish babies
of graves from cancerous tumors
in the human bodies,
and the continuing horror
of the rays of atomic tests.

Nuclear test in its horror
and legacy will forever dwell
in the memory of our fragile humanity.

Nuclear Infected

I'm nuclear infected
I really don't mind
I just go out when the sun goes down
And have a real good time.
I can clear out any ballgame
In a minute and a half
Just show up - glow up
And have a real good laugh
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
I'm nuclear infected
Really ain't that bad
In fact it's about the best time
I guess I ever had
I'm nuclear infected
Looking for a mate
So slip on something lead, babe
And go out on a date
When I'm happy I glow yellow

Nuclear War

Now is the time to
Unleash what is long overdue.
Cincture the fear of nations.
Lock the wheel of proliferation.
Eternity is forever.
Atomic bombs should be never.
Revolving longheartedly in this world,
Working for the extinction of nuclear war
Allows us to give this world a whirl
Refusing to initiate the beginning of nuclear war.
