Only A Dream
The woman screams at the windy day
her children play in the acid rain
the water is green and the sky is brown
the cars and buildings, all broken down
Now what in the world is happening here
will somebody please explain
nothing I see makes sense to me
maybe it's only a dream
The deer in the forest or the eagle in the sky
they see Man coming and they run to hide
the birds on the shore will no longer fly
they're covered in oil and they're bound to die
Now how in the world does that make sense
the killing of innocent beings
what in the world is wrong with us
maybe it's only a dream
The air we breathe and the food we eat
poor Mother Earth was poisoned in her sleep
Now what in the world is happening here
will somebody please explain
nothing I see makes sense to me
tell me it's only a dream
The woman screams at the wind and rain
it's only a dream
just a bad dream
what a bad dream
her children play in the acid rain
the water is green and the sky is brown
the cars and buildings, all broken down
Now what in the world is happening here
will somebody please explain
nothing I see makes sense to me
maybe it's only a dream
The deer in the forest or the eagle in the sky
they see Man coming and they run to hide
the birds on the shore will no longer fly
they're covered in oil and they're bound to die
Now how in the world does that make sense
the killing of innocent beings
what in the world is wrong with us
maybe it's only a dream
The air we breathe and the food we eat
poor Mother Earth was poisoned in her sleep
Now what in the world is happening here
will somebody please explain
nothing I see makes sense to me
tell me it's only a dream
The woman screams at the wind and rain
it's only a dream
just a bad dream
what a bad dream
