[Verse 1]
Contracts staged on primitive infrastructure.
Suppliers auctioned beside reactor cores.
Plutonium desires for the junta someday,
While bartering sovereignty by the gram today.

[Chorus]
Drain it, drain it.
Uranium outflow down colonial stairs.
Drink it, drink it.
From Moscow’s throat to Niamey’s grid.
Recite it, recite it.
Atoms prey for an ignorant mouth.

[Verse 2]
France never seemed to feel the option.
Orano was seized by the state in June.
Russia’s hand clamps the desert throat.
Leach pads bake under harmattan.
Convoys drag assemblies through the Sahel.

[Chorus]
Spill it, spill it.
Refining ore in fallout air.
Spin it, spin it.
Centrifuge process on its knees.
Swallow, swallow.
Concentrate slurry sold as fuel.
Burn it, burn it.
Medicine ball of reactor waste.

[Bridge]
Building a plant could take years.
Viability depends on availability.
No covenant left to bargain.
Yellowcake rosaries,
Beads broken, radioactive unholy mess.

[Outro]
Walking backward.
Selling forward.
Nuclear energy laced with Islamic militancy.
Niamey will be drained.
Moscow’s grip rinsed in hexafluoride.

Nuclear Niamey.
Nuclear Niamey.
