Down the Drain

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Looks like we're going down the hill

And we're going kind of fast, excited by the thrill

A rollercoaster ride straight down the drain

Together with a lot of toxics dissolving our brains

A contradiction in terms- evolution reversed

Things should get better, instead they get worse

We see it all happen, safe distance, on the telly

Happy zapping round the world, pick your dream, scratch your belly

Like this bad case of virus, emerging from the soil

Instead of finding a cure we just lance the boils

So purulent matter is flooding the seas

Just keep on dumping, and pay your fees

We literally lay clouds of smoke, concealing what goes on

But when or if the smoke goes down we'll know what we have done

Mountains of waste formed by all our buys

Like Towers of Babel reaching for the skies!

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain)

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain)

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Don't buy a toothpaste if the packaging ain't double

Have a plastic bag to carry it with out trouble

But I keep empty bottles in one bag and paper in another

Yet the rest is too much for me to even bother

Wash your jeans, I know you've worn them twice

If you won't get that stain out, chlorine is my advice

It's a shame about Bosnia, because killing is a sin

I'm off to a game, you'll see trouble if we don't win

Generations of wisdom used to alter our creations

Towards virtual reality and fake stimulations!

I want to feel better- this pain has a source-

But I can't cope with it, I'll have usual of course

Love was a cure, now that puts our lives on a rope

If you won't catch it there, you'll catch it doing dope

So the ultimate escape is yet to be found

Run all you can, but the Earth is still round!

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain)

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain)

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Now, love was a cure, now that puts our lives on a rope

If you won't catch it there, you'll catch it doing dope

The ultimate escape is yet to be found

Ha- run all you can, but the Earth is still round!

Get on board the train, get on (But the Earth's still round)

Going down the drain, going

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain)

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain)

We're taking off today, so get on board the train

Too bad we couldn't stay (Straight on down the drain)

Too bad we couldn't stay (Straight on down the drain)

Too bad we couldn't stay (Straight on down the drain)

Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way
