The Way the Wind Blew
My name is not important, I'm 45 years old I am dying slowly, the truth it must be told I have children I had hoped to raise, work I hoped to do But now my life is ended by the way the wind blew
Washington's my home and I have lived here all my life My father worked for Hanford for his children and his wife He never knew the winds he loved that blew across the plain Carried death as surely as a rain cloud carries rain
The wind it can blow softly as a mother with her child The wind it can blow loudly; the wind it can blow wild But the winds that frighten me the most are silent as the snow The politicians know these winds and bend the way they blow
When I was four, the plant put radiation in the wind Called the leak the Green Run--measured with their charts and pins Who knows why they did it - it's classified you see But it killed a lot of friends of mine, and now it's killing me

Chorus
Now Hanford made the bomb that dropped on Nagasaki But it wasn't just those innocents who died so horribly Our death has no meaning, it is hard and it is slow And it's the same damn government who's murdered us, you know
The great Columbia River you see rolling along Carried nuclear waste enough for two atom bombs The cows who grazed this farmland, milk for daughters and for sons Carried death as surely as a loaded gun
Chorus
But now the secret's coming out, and lawsuits there will be But who can give me back the life they've taken now from me? I'm angry and I'm frightened and I'm tellin' you The difference between us, my friend, is the way the wind blew
