Irani, Irony

You have your uranium deposit
You know how to process the stuff
You want to come out of the closet
But we say, enough is enough

You know about nuclear reactors
You know about bombs, how they blow
You want to put this into practice
But we say, emphatically, No

Your knowledge is pretty extensive
You run your gas close to the flame
You know how to call it 'defensive'
But we say, this isn't a game

You ride on your very high horses
Your hiroshima breath smells of ash
The genuine question, of course, is
Why not swear to get rid of your stash?

Irani, Irony
The International Atomic Energy Agency is desperate to prevent Iran having a nuclear energy programme.
