Beborn Beton


A giant cloud up in the sky 
The things she saw she hardly could spell 
Honey, don't stay too long in the sun, said Mom 
And Julia doesn't feel well 

Waters are dying but they're still blue 
Blue as they were when the grass hadn't gone 
Picking flowers is something I've never done 
Because of radiation 

On the day 
The day the earth stood still 
It's getting dark 
So move a little closer 
Yesterday 
The white powder fell 
But the snow didn't melt in the sun 
And the summer has gone 

A whole new world has gone astray 
People seem never to learn 
Mistakes that are made steer us into 
A corporate grave - genetic alternation 

Night after night I keep dreaming 
Burned out children won't play anymore 
Blown away and the wind takes their ashes ashore 
Their final destination 

On the day 
The day the earth stood still 
It's getting dark 
So move a little closer 
Yesterday 
The white powder fell 
But the snow didn't melt in the sun 
And the summer has gone
