"Atomic Garden" is the seventh track on Bad Religion's sixth full-length album Generator, which was released in 1992. It was also the band's first official song to be released as a single. According to The Bad Religion Page, guitarist Brett Gurewitz, who wrote this song, claims that "Atomic Garden" is about "nuclear proliferation".[1]

More than a decade after its release, "Atomic Garden" has been labeled as one of Bad Religion's best known songs and remains a concert staple. A live version can also be heard on their 2006 DVD Live at the Palladium. There is a video clip (filmed and edited by Gregor Verbinsky) that can be found in the band's 1991 long out of print live video Big Bang.[1]

A video for "Atomic Garden" was also made. It is available for watching here.

This song was also included on the game NCAA Football 2006.
