Poison is bubbling
|
Beneath your dreamhome
|
Buried there years before
|
|
Kid runs in crying
|
From playing in the garden
|
"Mommy, I burned my hands!"
|
|
"What's making our eyes so itchy?"
|
"Don't rub 'em-they'll swell up."
|
|
Oh Oh Oh Oh
|
It's the big waste dump
|
Oh, yeah
|
|
We built your ticky-tacky houses
|
On landfill soil
|
To cover up a gift
|
We left you years before
|
|
Of toxic chemicals
|
And leaking gas
|
Just dig a little while,
|
You'll find our acid baths
|
|
Cesspools
|
In Eden
|
Oozing away:
|
|
Groundwater's poisoned
|
Air stings like hell
|
The lines for doctors grow long
|
|
Over martinis
|
The company laughs
|
"We don't owe you one damn thing."
|
|
But what about all these fainting spells?
|
How'd you like a lick
|
From my open sores
|
|
And Oh:.Oh Oh Oh -
|
Why are our babies stillborn?
|
|
A storage tank's leaking
|
It's about to explode
|
Why evacuate
|
When you can watch the fun
|
|
Nothing happens here
|
Get out the lawn chairs
|
We'll drink pink lemonade
|
And watch Martinez burn
|
|
Cesspools
|
In Eden
|
Oozing away
|
Cesspools in Eden
|
Leak by the day
|
|
The land we sold you
|
Is right atop our acid pits
|
We fill them by the truckload
|
In the dead of night
|
|
There's thousands more toxic
|
Tips of the iceberg
|
We pay a little bribe
|
Or we just don't report them
|
|
And see what you get-
|
Cesspools
|
In Eden
|
In Eden
|
No accident-
|
Just a little of our greed-fueled negligence
|
|
So you've found the proof why
|
Your cancer rate's shot up
|
But whatcha gonna do
|
When we've got all the cards
|
|
Times Beach, Rocky Flats,
|
Love Canal & Bhopal
|
Merry Christmas, hostages
|
From the folks who care
|
|
Cesspools in Eden
|
Oozing away
|
Cesspools in Eden
|
Leak by the day
|
Cesspools in Eden
|
Have a nice day
|
