Earth
My roots are rotting
Cut me away from them
Or rip me out like a weed
A boulder in motion stays in motion
Perpetually turning like the waves of the ocean
The hands of the artist have been worked to the bone
With nothing to show for when he's sent back home
The power to raise a majestic mountain
Is now just a tool for city construction
Its beauty is lost in the machine
Constant production destroys the serene
The earth keeps moving
The world keeps turning
No time at all for reflection
The earth keeps moving
It won't stop spinning
And we enter a new great depression
Bending a boulder to their will
Day after day down and uphill
Time slips away back starts to break
And thrown to the curb like the rest of the waste
The earth keeps moving
The world keeps turning
No time at all for reflection
The earth keeps moving
It won't stop spinning
And we enter a new great depression
And you pray for the rain
To wash it all away
All that nightmarish pain
But water won't do it
You've got to work through it
The earth keeps moving
The world keeps turning
No time at all for reflection
The earth keeps moving
It won't stop spinning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Cut me away from them
Or rip me out like a weed
A boulder in motion stays in motion
Perpetually turning like the waves of the ocean
The hands of the artist have been worked to the bone
With nothing to show for when he's sent back home
The power to raise a majestic mountain
Is now just a tool for city construction
Its beauty is lost in the machine
Constant production destroys the serene
The earth keeps moving
The world keeps turning
No time at all for reflection
The earth keeps moving
It won't stop spinning
And we enter a new great depression
Bending a boulder to their will
Day after day down and uphill
Time slips away back starts to break
And thrown to the curb like the rest of the waste
The earth keeps moving
The world keeps turning
No time at all for reflection
The earth keeps moving
It won't stop spinning
And we enter a new great depression
And you pray for the rain
To wash it all away
All that nightmarish pain
But water won't do it
You've got to work through it
The earth keeps moving
The world keeps turning
No time at all for reflection
The earth keeps moving
It won't stop spinning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
Earth keeps moving
World keeps turning
