Lyrics

[Verse]
Clock in early, coffee in my hand,
Steel-toed boots on this glowing land.
The reactor hums, the turbines sing,
In the heart of this plant, I'm the king.

[Chorus]
We’re splitting atoms, lighting up the night,
Glowing like the fireflies, ain't it a sight?
Making power, hour by hour, it’s true,
I got the atom-splitting blues under this hazy neon hue.

[Verse 2]
Safety goggles perched, Geiger's ticking fast,
Every shift feels like it might be my last.
But the paycheck’s solid, keeps food on the plate,
In this chain reaction, there ain't room for fate.

[Chorus]
We’re splitting atoms, lighting up the night,
Glowing like the fireflies, ain't it a sight?
Making power, hour by hour, it’s true,
I got the atom-splitting blues under this hazy neon hue.

[Bridge]
Steam's rising high like a prairie morn,
In this dance with physics, I was born.
Beside the cooling towers, I’ve laid my stake,
Lighting up the world for my hometown’s sake.

[Chorus]
We’re splitting atoms, lighting up the night,
Glowing like the fireflies, ain't it a sight?
Making power, hour by hour, it’s true,
I got the atom-splitting blues under this hazy neon hue.
