Putting A Lid On Chernobyl

slicer622 writes "Chernobyl is finally getting a containment structure (Washington Post). Billed as the largest moveable structure ever built, its designed to help take apart the wreckage and keep most of the radioactive material from spreading. It will be 800 feet across, and 300 feet high and will cost $800 mil."

    It's Christmas at Ground Zero
    There's music in the air
    The sleigh bells are ringin' and the carolers are singin'
    While the air raid sirens blare

    It's Christmas at Ground Zero
    The button has been pressed
    The radio just let us know
    That this is not a test

    Everywhere the atom bombs are droppin'
    It's the end of all humanity
    No more time for last minute shoppin'
    It's time to face your final destiny

    Well, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
    There's panic in the crowd
    We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
    Underneath a mushroom cloud

    (siren)

    You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop
    Or Jack Frost on your windowsill
    But if someone's climbin' down your chimney
    You better load your gun and shoot to kill

    Oh, it's Christmas at Ground Zero
    And if the radiation level's okay
    I'll go out with you and see the all new
    Mutations on New Year's Day

    It's Christmas at Ground Zero
    Just seconds left to go
    I'll duck and cover with my yuletide lover
    Underneath the mistletoe

    It's Christmas at Ground Zero
    Now the missiles are on their way
    What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
    On this jolly holiday
    What a crazy fluke we're gonna get nuked
    On this jolly holiday
