What you gonna do-when the river runs dry Put your drills in the mud-and death up in the sky You should have saved those bottles- You should have saved those cans You shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man And there's no more toilet paper-it's gone just like the trees Do you like the taste of honey-isn't it best without the bees Be careful what you're dong-you're messing up my life And if all the world's a cake-then you cut too big a slice
CHORUS What's it all about-they scream and then they shout Don't ask me-cause I don't know What's it all about-they scream and then they shout Don't blame me-I told you so
You read it in the papers-you hear it on the news Very few listen-a spew without a view And is it really worth it-choking on remote I can see the red tide coming-but I don't even vote Infection in the greenhouse-dizzy in the clouds Oily as an ocean-heaven disemboweled Still planning on a future-well lucky for some You can develop your body-but your mind is still a slum
CHORUS
The product in the packaging-of multi-layered glam 150 layers of materials-to cover up a sham Protecting my planet-wrap it in plastic The package is product-perfected eternal A crap in a cling wrap I never met yet a prime minister or president Who told the truth yet
Swimming in the surry-burning in the heat Wind blown is the weather-I eat what you secrete Climb the highest derrick-the circus has no prayer No UFO to save us-and do we really care
CHORUS
KIss goodbye to the earth, the sun, the moon It's easy to deceive a child
