Lyrics

Little green men coming out of paint cans
Phosphate mines and slaked lime, 1966, he was sixteen
It's central florida in the era of the dragline
Play it over the pit and dig up more of that green shit
And trade it with the russians, who are traditionally hated
You can imagine that after a few years
That you'd run out of things to say
And I'll be here every day
Phospho~gypsum, radon-222
The daughters watch over you
On a transformer four stories high it walks like a cripple
And turns on its base
Diggin' up that dicalcium phosphate
Travel the blacktop
And you won't have far to go to find an alien civilization
A creature from a creation that's from outer space
Sixty foot high for miles around;
One million tons of phospho~gypsum tailings rise to the sky
Nearly half the world's fertilizer once lay beneath the overburden;
It got taken off this sandbar
And now there's something that's left behind
Hey, this place is a mess!
'What are you takin' about?
I'll clean it up later
No, that's not the way it is at all, I'm not a miner I don't care
Man, that's pant of the system, I'm punk
But who's gonna indict the wall street journal, just me and bob ray
It's just part of the system here on the surface of the planet
And the day has come when there's only work left
There's unlimited sunshine in a bottle of tropicana
With his friends and his 'spooky tooth' 8-track flipped upside down
Drivin' in his mercury monterey down to lithia springs
Saying that if we could take the tailings
And build a building for the new york stork exchange
Then we could tell everyone about
How we live in a state that digs radon by the ton
And you'll be loved by everyone
And the government will give us a superfund
And 'we're radon, and that's science fiction
