I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms I see rockets, missiles in the sky Poor world, poor world
1. Concrete's rising up Where yesterday was park You heard the robin's song Heavy tractor runs Where air was clean and cool Make money burning fuel
Where will this lead to? What is this good for? Poor world, poor world
2. Fishes doomed to die As people live close by And oak tree falls with moan Parking lots will come Where flowerfields were bright As junkyard covers sight!
Where will this lead to? What is this good for? Poor world is hurting bad Poor world is doomed to die
Refrain: We kill the world, kill the world We surely do, in pieces we do, We kill the world, kill the world 'Cause we don't know what we are doing
3. Promenades must go So cars can drive in row New factory towers tall Farmhouse had to fall No flowers in the air Pollution everywhere
Where will this lead to? And what is this good for? Poor world is hurting bad Poor world is doomed to die
Refrain: We kill the world, kill the world We surely do, in pieces we do, We kill the world, kill the world 'Cause we don't know what we are doing
We kill the world, kill the world We surely do, in pieces we do, We kill the world!
