I'm familiar with both these songs and ONLY the titles are similar.

Anthrax actually has two simultaneous lyric streams going, one is
"And I feel like a beetle on its back, and there's no way for me to get up."
And the other is 
Paraphrase: "Its not the triteness of today's love songs that bothers me
its thier lack of honesty."

Nuclear Waste is just plain rambunctious.
"Your love is like a nuclear waste, you ought to have 'comtaminated'
	stamped across your face!


Both great songs.
