Something Will Turn Up
(or)The Ballad of Charlie Chernobyl
by Don Record
c 1986 SCOsongs
My name is Charlie Chernobyl
And I've got something you really need
Clean, cheap energy
Sure to satisfy your greed
But, I must admit today
I've got problems that may get in the way
Any system I propose
I always find new holes
But....
Something will turn up
Just you wait and see
That's what we all say
The army, the government, and me
Something will turn up
Hang around and see
If we can't find a place to dump
We'll dump it in the sea
Get it out of your cranium
Because I've got power and I've got pigs
Guarding my uranium
Freeing all your fears
Of slowing down the techno-gears
Platonium can pull the pace
Assure the race a golden age
Think of the glitter
And the glory in the years ahead
Just don't you worry
And remember what your uncle Charlie said
He said...
Something will turn up
Just you wait and see
That's what we all say
The army, the government, and me
Something will turn up
Hang around and see
If we can't find a place to dump
We'll dump it in the sea
We'll dump it in the sea
We'll dump it in the sea
