Down The Drain

Lyrics

[Chorus] Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way We're taking off today, so get on board the train Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way We're taking off today, so get on board the train [Verse 1] Looks like we're going down the hill And we're going kind of fast, excited by the thrill A rollercoaster ride straight down the drain Together with a lot of toxics dissolving our brains A contradiction in terms- evolution reversed Things should get better, instead they get worse We see it all happen, safe distance, on the telly Happy zapping round the world, pick your dream, scratch your belly [Verse 2] Like this bad case of virus, emerging from the soil Instead of finding a cure we just lance the boils So purulent matter is flooding the seas Just keep on dumping, and pay your fees We literally lay clouds of smoke, concealing what goes on But when or if the smoke goes down we'll know what we have done Mountains of waste formed by all our buys Like Towers of Babel reaching for the skies! [Chorus] Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain) We're taking off today, so get on board the train Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain) We're taking off today, so get on board the train [Verse 3] Don't buy a toothpaste if the packaging ain't double Have a plastic bag to carry it with out trouble But I keep empty bottles in one bag and paper in another Yet the rest is too much for me to even bother Wash your jeans, I know you've worn them twice If you won't get that stain out, chlorine is my advice It's a shame about Bosnia, because killing is a sin I'm off to a game, you'll see trouble if we don't win [Verse 4] Generations of wisdom used to alter our creations Towards virtual reality and fake stimulations! I want to feel better- this pain has a source- But I can't cope with it, I'll have usual of course Love was a cure, now that puts our lives on a rope If you won't catch it there, you'll catch it doing dope So the ultimate escape is yet to be found Run all you can, but the Earth is still round! [Chorus] Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain) We're taking off today, so get on board the train Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain) We're taking off today, so get on board the train [Bridge] Now, love was a cure, now that puts our lives on a rope If you won't catch it there, you'll catch it doing dope The ultimate escape is yet to be found Ha- run all you can, but the Earth is still round! Get on board the train, get on (But the Earth's still round) Going down the drain, going [Chorus] Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain) We're taking off today, so get on board the train Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way (Straight on down the drain) We're taking off today, so get on board the train [Outro] Too bad we couldn't stay (Straight on down the drain) Too bad we couldn't stay (Straight on down the drain) Too bad we couldn't stay (Straight on down the drain) Too bad we couldn't stay, we're on our way
