Verse 1
The planet is dying and who do we blame
Politicians, corporations and President What's-His-Name
Recycled ideas we don't even care
Running out of water and choking on the filthy air

Verse 2
We've gotten so clever curing every disease
Stamping out war celebrating world peace
Population's growing we tend to overlook
This planet's not big enough Hotel Earth's overbooked


Chorus
There's just too many of us with more every day
We've outgrown the nest now we watch it decay
There's just too many of us it's so plain to see
No future for a child when there's no air to breathe


Verse 3
Pro life pro choice draw a line in the dirt
One side or the other we're all being hurt
Can't see the forest for the trees that are left
Can't face the problem we're slowly killing ourselves

Chorus 2x
