Buildings will replace the trees Pollution will replace the air we breathe I'm close to the mountain, 15 miles away But I can't see the hills from here today We can't just let it pass us by And as I look into the sky Something in the atmosphere Is telling me won't be here for long Take a picture of this place Cause extinction is not so far away Our skin will fry like a steak well done When there's nothing between us and the sun Until it's gone, until it's gone, until it's gone We'll never miss it until it's gone All the efforts seem to fail With cars and cans of aerosol I feel so guilty, then my pride will diewhen I see the gray, self-created sky Until we find a better way We'll have to learn from all our big mistakes Something in the atmosphere Is telling me it won't be here for long Seems like a letter that we cannot send Fells like aluminum we cannot bend Tastes like a mixture that we cannot blend But we must change the course, Of the recipe to the end
