[Verse 1]
Strategic necessity
Permitted release
Clean-energy language
Waste stream underneath
Threshold politics
Legacy storage
Searching for innocence
In the fuel cycle

[Chorus]
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
No measurable effect

[Verse 2]
Clean enough for investors
Designer catastrophe
Baseload with a burial clause
Straight professional face
Prestige hazard
Policy as disguise
Civilian pretext
Weapons-grade is realized

[Chorus]
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
No measurable effect

[Verse 3]
Spent fuel in future tense
Stewardship in six languages
Atoms-for-peace styling
I.A.E.A in the blessing
Threshold talks, closed session
Storage sold as permanence
Consensus calling it settled
While the waste keeps arriving

[Chorus]
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
No measurable effect

[Bridge]
Strategic restart logic
Legacy core rebranded
National-security over-ride
Data-center urgency
Nuclear Infrastructure as a service
Same waste, newer slogan
Same chain underneath it

[spoken word sample]
"They are testing in Utah. … I don’t know, like 70 people live there"
"They’ve been downwind before, hahahaha"

[Final Chorus]
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
No measurable effect
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
Extract, Contaminate, Deny
No measurable effect
