Mother Earth’s Abortion

When are you going to walk on water
When are you going to walk on air
When are you going to see you only need the same as anyone here
Or has self-sacrifice and the postmodern man
Taught you how to live in unlivable situations

(Refrain)
With a view straight from the birds eye
Under an empty sky
It wouldn’t be the first time
It shouldn’t happen now and again
Get her where you want her by leaving her where she stands
Time is using us up
Do you get the notion my friend
We’ve been bearing witness to mother earth’s abortion

I’m trying to enter your atmosphere through the eyes of mine
Where I’ve been living in darkness both day and night
Now all I can hope for is the sun in my eyes
As I wait for and pray for this fear of death to die

(refrain)

She brings you water but no solution for your needs
When the pollution in your words becomes the air you breath
Still you’ve got your strip mine and I’ve got my diamond pipe
In the land of living but in the land of the dead tonight

(refrain)

Everyone enters a race to find their place
Down here on an earth so lost in space
Everyone here seems to be going somewhere
But nobody knows what to do
When and if they get there
When and if they get theirs
