[Intro]
yalla - listen up
Ya gamaa!
El Dabaa!
Ghalat reaktor!

[Verse 1]
plant by the coast with its fences raised
russian crews walk; town stand aside
boys at the intake pull jelly each shift
warm water climb where the cold used to sit
new fences rise where the shore ran free
town stay low when the rules agree

[Pre-Chorus]
no one talk when the steam roll out
no one ask what the talk’s about

[Chorus]
nuclear el dabaa, all day it run
nuclear el dabaa, heat beat the sun
nuclear el dabaa, fish keep away
nuclear el dabaa, same every day

[Verse 2]
shops stack high on the russian pay
old nets lag where the currents stray
families stay quiet on coughs that hold
kids break rash when the air turn bold
notices taped where the corners peel
alarms cut short when the shifts go real

[Pre-Chorus]
no one sure what the white smoke mean
no one knows what plant keeps clean

[Chorus]
nuclear el dabaa, all day it run
nuclear el dabaa, heat beat the sun
nuclear el dabaa, fish keep away
nuclear el dabaa, same every day


[Bridge]
russian teams guard the steel-line zone
locals fix pipes that they never own


[Outro]
nuclear el dabaa
nuclear el dabaa
nuclear el dabaa
Nuclear El Dabaa!
Ghalat reaktor!
