1. GEIGER COUNTER

(instrumental)

2. RADIO-ACTIVITY

Radioactivity
Is in the air for you and me

Radioactivity
Discovered by Madame Curie

Radioactivity
Tune in to the melody

Radioactivity
Is in the air for you and me

Radio Aktivität
Fuer dich und mich in All entsteht

Radio Aktivität
Strahlt Wellen zum Empfangsgeraet

Radio Aktivität
Wenn's um unsere Zukunft geht

Radioactivity
Is in the air for you and me

Radioactivity
Discovered by Madame Curie

Radioactivity
Tune in to the melody

Radioactivity
Is in the air for you and me

3. RADIOLAND

Drehen wir am Radiophon
Vernehmen wir den Sendeton
Durch Tastendruck mit Blitzesschnelle...(click clack)
Erreichen wir die Kurze Welle
Nach Feineinstellung mit der Hand
Lauschen wir dem Morseband
Elektronenklange aus dem Radioland

Turn the dials with your hand
Till you find the short wave band
Electronic music sounds from Radioland

We are turning dials of the radio
We are hearing the sound of transmission
By pressing a button fast
We reach the short wave band
After fine tuning by hand
We are listening to the Morse band
Electronic sounds from Radioland

Turn the dials with your hand
Till you find the short wave band
Electronic music sounds from Radioland

4. AIRWAVES

When airwaces swing
Distant voices sing

Wenn Wellen schwingen
Ferne Stimmen singen

5. INTERMISSION

(instrumental)

6. NEWS

Here is the West German Broadcasting Station with the news
Fifty nuclear power stations will be built in the West German Republic
In the next ten years
Each one can supply a city of millions with power
The North German Broadcasting Service with the news
In the whole world 355 nuclear powerstations are operational or being built
According to plans of the nuclear lobby there will be 2000
At the turn of the century
Here is the Bayerische Broadcasting Service with the news
No other postwar technology
... even space travel, ...
Here is Radio Bremen, we bring you the news

The supplies of easily fissionable uranium
Needed as fuel for the reactors is as limited as the supplies of oil
The now known supplies of uranium is just sufficient
To operate the reactors already operational and under construction
For a period of 40 years

7. THE VOICE OF ENERGY

This is the Voice of Energy
I am a giant electrical generator
I supply you with light and power
And I enable you to receive speech,
Music and Image through the Ether
I am your servant and lord at the same time
Therefore guard me well
Me, the Genius of Energy

8. ANTENNA

I'm the Antenna
Catching vibration
You're the transmitter
Give information!

Wir richten Antennen ins Firmament
Empfangen die Tone die niemand kennt

I'm the transmitter
I give information
You're the antenna
Catching vibration

Es strahlen die Sender Bild, Ton und Wort
Elektromagnetisch an jeden Ort

I'm the Antenna
Catching vibration
You're the transmitter
Give information!

Radio-Sender und Horer sind wir
Spielen im ather das Wellenklavier

I'm the antenna catching vibration
You're the transmitter give information
I'm the transmitter I give information
You're the antenna catching vibration...

9. RADIO STARS

From the deeps of space
Radio stars are transmitting
Pulsars and quasars

10. URANIUM

Through constant decay
Uranium creates a readioactive ray

Durch stetigen zurfall
Entstehen radioaktive
Strahlen aus dem urankristall

11. TRANSISTOR

(instrumental)

12. OHM SWEET OHM

Ohm Sweet Ohm

Ohm Sweet Ohm
