Lyrics

[00:28.01] What you gonna do - When the river runs dry
[00:32.01] Put your drills in the mud - Death up in the sky
[00:36.08] Should have saved those bottles -
[00:38.11] Should have saved those cans
[00:40.15] Shouldn't ought'a listen to the plastic man
[00:43.15] No more toilet papet - It's gone just like the trees
[00:47.15] Do you like the taste of honey - Isn't it best without the bees
[00:50.25] Be careful what you're doing - You're messing up my life
[00:54.28] And if all this world's a cake - Then you took too big a slice
[00:58.22] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
[01:01.22] Don't ask me - Cause I don't know (I don't know)
[01:05.33] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
[01:09.28] Don't blame me - I told you so
[01:12.33] Read it in the papers - You hear it in the news
[01:16.30] Very few listen - A spew without a view
[01:19.32] And is it really worth it - You're choking on remote
[01:23.43] I see the red tide coming - But we don't even vote
[01:26.48] Infection in the greenhouse - Dizzy in the clouds
[01:30.47] Oily as an ocean - Heaven disemboweled
[01:34.45] Planning on a future - Well lucky for some
[01:37.49] Develop your body - But your mind is still a slum
[01:41.43] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
[01:45.57] Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
[01:48.56] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Well don't ask me)
[01:53.55] Don't blame me - I told you so (Middle-age)
[02:02.53] The product in the packaging
[02:04.55] Of multi-layered glam
[02:05.54] 150 layers of materials
[02:08.50] To cover up a sham
[02:11.66] Protecting my planet
[02:13.68] Wrap it in plastic
[02:15.62] This package is product
[02:16.69] Perfected eternal
[02:18.65] A crap in a cling wrap
[02:20.61] I never met yet a prime minister or president
[02:24.73] Who told the truth yet
[02:33.71] Swimming in the slurry
[02:36.77] Burning in the heat
[02:37.79] Wind blown is this weather
[02:39.79] I eat what you secrete
[02:41.79] I climb this highest derrick
[02:43.72] This circus has no prayer
[02:45.83] No UFO to save us
[02:47.78] And do we really care
[02:48.85] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Do we really care)
[02:52.84] Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
[02:56.80] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
[02:59.89] Don't blame me - I told you so
[03:03.82] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No UFO to save us)
[03:06.98] Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
[03:10.95] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (No fun, no religion)
[03:14.92] Don't blame me - I told you so
[03:18.91] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout
[03:21.92] Don't ask me - Cause I don't know
[03:25.99] What's it all about - They scream and then they shout (Climb this highest derrick)
[03:28.97] Don't blame me - I told you so
[03:30.95] Kiss goodbye to the Earth, the sun, the moon
[03:32.94] It's easy to decieve a child.
[03:42.91]
