[INTRO]
They said it worked.
They said it held together cities.
They said it made things last.

They knew what it did.
They kept using it anyway.

[SECTION A]
It was in the pipes
before anyone counted
who it reached first.

It was in the paint
before anyone agreed
who should be protected.

The numbers moved.
The limits shifted.
The explanations stayed calm.

Nothing collapsed.
Nothing exploded.
It just stopped making sense to continue.

[SECTION B]
The benefit didn’t disappear.
The harm didn’t vanish.
The argument ran out of room.

No tribunal.
No apology.
Just agreement without ceremony.

[REFRAIN]
If it happened to led
it can happen to nuclear

If it happened to led
it can happen to nuclear

[SECTION C]
It wasn’t about efficiency.
It wasn’t about cost.

It was about what stays behind
after the system moves on.

The models were precise.
The assumptions were tidy.
The bodies were not.

Some things don’t fail.
They get outgrown.

[REFRAIN]
If it happened to led
it can happen to nuclear

If it happened to led
it can happen to nuclear

[OUTRO]
No emergency.
No debate.

Just a moment
where the defense
is no longer required.

If it happened to led.
(It can happen to nuclear too)
