All Clear In Harrisburg

Tom Paxton

[Intro] | | | | | [Verse 1] You may come back to your homes now citizens You may come back to the nest We had a little spot of trouble it’s true But things turned out for the best Yes a little radiation got loose And people ran for the bus And let me tell you if you live downwind You’ll be hearing from us [Verse 2] You may come back to your homes now citizens The town is perfectly clean And please believe us you have nothing to fear If now and then you turn green Three Mile Island is a wonderful place And the future is now Oh by the way I wouldn’t eat that egg Or drink the milk from that cow [Chorus] N.C. D You just might glow in the dark grow feathers just like a lark Stand in the fountain and light up the park Have a nice day the chance is you may G N.C. Blow yourself and half of Pennsylvania away [Verse 3] You may relax in your homes now Harrisburg For sure the crisis is past Oh sure we might have a problem or two The next one might be the last Oh yes the wave of the future is here It’s reassuring to know There’ll be no need of a suntan next year For we’ll be wearing our glow [Chorus] N.C. D We just might glow in the dark grow feathers just like a lark Stand in the fountain and light up the park Have a nice day the chance is you may Blow yourself and half of Pennsylvania away

Cette chanson évoque une situation où les habitants peuvent enfin retourner chez eux après une crise liée à des relâchements de radiation. Les autorités tentent de les rassurer, affirmant que tout est revenu à la normale, même si des éléments inquiétants subsistent, comme un léger risque de mutations. Avec un ton ironique, elle joue sur l'absurdité de certaines promesses, tout en minimisant les dangers potentiels. Au fond, c'est une sorte de réflexion sur la manipulation de l'information et la façon dont les gens sont souvent invités à ignorer les préoccupations légitimes pour retrouver un semblant de normalité.
