Used to be

I could get all the news I need

on the weather report

 

When days

were long

and darker times came in short

 

I could gather all the news I need

on the weather report

 

Hey, I’ve got nothing to do today

but cry

and to cry and to cry and to cry

for what’s going on

 

is this the only dying world

our greed’s brought.

 

Most of the time they’re gone

and we just don’t care, no we just don’t care

you can see that their lives are gone

and we just don’t care

 

Friends, why don’t we open our minds

I know there’s so much we could find

fly to where we’re one of a kind

fly now and leave these horrors behind

 

Hey, let your honesty shine, shine, shine,

let it shine on down

on them

let it shine on down

to them

 

Are we the only living ones to have thought

what we paid for is not what they bought

 

When we preach but don’t practice what’s taught

when we preach yet don’t practice what’s taught
