You’re a really pretty planet
But you sure give me the blues
You’re a really pretty planet
But you sure give me the blues
You think when somebody wins
Somebody else has got to lose.
You’re a really pretty planet
But you sure believe a pack of lies
You’re a really pretty planet
But you sure believe a pack of lies
You think if something’s gunna’ live
Then some other thing has got to die.
You got so much separation
I’m in need of preparation H
You got so much separation
I’m in need of preparation H
Cause’ it’s a pain in the butt to walk around
With all this fear and hate.
Well I’m droppin’ all this drama and I’m
Headin’ up to Heaven’s gate
Well I’m droppin’ all this drama and I’m
Headin’ up to Heaven’s gate
Where everything is one and I don’t need no
Preparation H.
What will we say to our children When they can't go out to play
Because what they're breathing might kill them
And they ask us how it got this way
What will we say to our children
When they cannot dig in the sand
Because what we dumped there might kill them
And they don't just quite understand
Somehow the big picture really gets lost as we're laughing our way to the bank
We're just not looking at what it will cost those who come after the damage is done
Are we surprised they're so bitter so young?
And now what will we say to our children
When they cannot splash in the sea
Because all the poisons might kill them
And they ask us how this could be?
What do we say to our children
We entice them to try cigarettes
When we all know good and well they will kill them
But why haven't we stopped it yet?
Somehow the big picture really gets lost
As we're laughing our way to the bank
We're just not looking at what it will cost those who come after the damage is done
Are we surprised they're so bitter so young?
And now what will we way to our children
When beautiful trees are destroyed
How can we tell them we killed them
To make supermarket tabloids
What will we say to our children
When their friend is put in the ground
Because daddy's pistol has killed him
Why do we keep guns around?
What do we say to our children
What do we say to our children
