I've lived all my life in this country
I love every flower and tree
I expect to live here 'til I'm ninety
It's the nukes that must go and not me
It's the nukes that must go and not me
It's the nukes that must go and not me
I expect to live here 'til I'm ninety
It's the nukes that must go and not me

I swallowed enough radiation
It's time I was standing my ground
So I'm joining that grand occupation
We're shutting that power plant down
...

Now Seabrook, New Hampshire's a swell town
It's there that we're taking our stand
Don't sit home and wait for a meltdown
Come fight for your freedom and land

And Seabrook is just the beginning
We'll soon have the nukes on the run
It's a fight that the people are winning
The fight for our place in the sun

We're seizing that land with a vision
Exposing the P.S.C.'s shams
As I sing of my happy condition
Surrounded by acres of clams
