Driving down the freeway staring at the sun Longing for protection from everything we've done Missing the connection drifting over our heads We're wearing out the world like a garment that's Torn to shreds
Burning down the forests so we can write a book Of how to save the knowledge of all we overlook From skyway central to the deep ocean beds We're wearing out the world like a garment that's Torn to shreds
So as we lift our eyes above and see the world below Everything we watch will disappear Sky will fade away and life will cease to grow Humanity's insanity is clear
Turning on the TV, working through the news A model of dissension and contradictory views Can't avoid the feeling that we've all been misled We're wearing out the world like a garment that's Torn to shreds Torn to shreds Torn to shreds
