Shocking how nothing shocks anymore,
The message read as it washed ashore
Skies turn black as my eyes look down
Written on the back are these words I've found:
We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
It's been ours since birth, what'cha doin' on it?
We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
Layin' claim at birth, what'cha doin' on it?
Waterfalls of grain flow through our hands
We're too weak to stand and too weak to stray
Big trees sway and the air is still
Lovers climb at the top of a hill and say
We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
It's been ours since birth, what'cha doin' on it?
We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
Laid our claim at birth, what'cha doin' on it?
We watch the world from the padded cell
And our eyes scream what our lips must quell
Oh, well...
