Down The Drain (Original Version)
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, but 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 lance the boils
So purulent matter is flooding the seas. Just keep on dumping
And pay your fees...
We 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 without 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 riots if we won'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
Nooow, 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, (Ha!) run all you can
But the earth is still round!
Get up on the train
Get up
(But the Earth's still round)
Going down the drain
Goin'
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
T-t-too bad we couldn't stay
Straight on down the drain
Too bad we couldn't stay
we're on our way
(Boom)
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
