Lyrics
Time will get you, I can bet you;
Time won't care about a word you say.
No excuses - no recluses again.
So get out of the way.
Stop the hunting - stop the bunting;
Stop your Yahoos with their "Bombs Away!"
Stop your drilling - your atomic spilling - again
The green man's on his way.
Fifty dollars more and you could buy the moon
Shove your money where the sun don't shine
Lock your children up in some swish boarding school
Just so long as they stay away from mine
Hearts are tickin', lips are licking
Fingers clicking to a new dawn sway.
Pack your booty - your neglect of duty - away
The green man's here today.
Just one thing - just one thing before you go
Just one thing, just one thing Doctor No - No - No - No - No
We don't want another big chain store
We don't want a runway on our door
We don't want another 4 by 4
We don't want your pennies for the poor
Just give it away 'cause the green man's here to stay.
Just give it away 'cause the green man's here to stay.
Just give it away 'cause the green man's here today.
