Lyrics
For so long I've sat and wondered
Do we know what we have squandered?
Trees can't talk, so I won't learn
You don't work miracles with slash and burn
Sit back, we got it all
Pride that comes before a fall
Hey chile, for what it's worth
You and me, we screw the earth
We're busy living in the here and now
Future time will sort itself somehow
What must be to make us understand?
We leave our footprint in more than sand
Sit back, we got it all
Pride that comes before a fall
Hey chile, for what it's worth
You and me, we screw the earth
A sentient being from a point in space
Told me bacteria boss this place
I said, "No; man" and he said, "Yeah,
You need clean water, you need clean air"
Sit back, we got it all
Pride that comes before a fall
Hey chile, for what it's worth
You and me, we screw the earth
Relax, we got it all
Pride that comes before a fall
Hey chile, for what it's worth
You and me, we screw the earth
