What you gonna do when the river runs dry?
Put your drills in the mud, death up in the sky
Should have saved those bottles, should have saved those cans
Shouldn't oughta listen to the plastic man

No more toilet paper, it's gone just like the trees
Do you like the taste of honey, isn't it best without the bees?
Be careful what you're dong, you're messing up my life
And if all this world's a cake then you took too big a slice

What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know
What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
Don't blame me, I told you so

You read it in the papers, you hear it in the news
Very few listen, a spew without a view
And is it really worth it, the choking on remote
I see the red tide coming but we don't even vote

Infection in the greenhouse, dizzy in the clouds
Oily as an ocean, heaven disemboweled
Planning on a future, well, lucky for some
Develop your body but your mind is still a slum

What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know
What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
Don't blame me, I told you so
Middle age

The product in the packaging of multi layered glam
150 layers of materials to cover up this sham
Protecting my planet you wrap it in plastic

A crap in a cling wrap
I never met yet
A Prime Minister or President
Who told the truth yet?

Swimming in the slurry, burning in the heat
Wind blown is this weather, I eat what you secrete
I climb this highest derrick, the circus has no prayer
No UFO to save us and do we really care?

What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know
What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
Don't blame me, I told you so

What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
(No UFO to save us)
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know
What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
(No fun, no religion)
Don't blame me, I told you so

What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know
What's it all about they scream and then they shout?
(Climb this highest derrick)
Don't blame me, I told you so
(Kiss goodbye to the earth, the sun, the moon)

It's easy to deceive a child

What you gonna do when the river runs dry?
Put your drills in the mud, death up in the sky
Should have saved those bottles, should have saved those cans
