Lyrics

I’m stuck in a memory
When I was young
Teacher said draw the life you want
So I colored in the lines so clean
With rivers blue and trees of green

But I grew up to poison in the water
Poison in the air
Poison in the words we speak when we can’t reach common threads
Poison in the dollar that divides you and I
Poison looks so pretty
Pretty in the sky tonight
Tonight
Poison looks so pretty

We can build an island with the plastic in the ocean
Ice is melting
Bees are dying
Honey we are running out of time
Children breathing in the air
I can write the government but you know they don’t care
We grew up to poison

Poison in the words we speak when we can’t reach common threads
Poison in the dollar that divides you and I
Poison looks so pretty
Pretty in the sky tonight
Tonight
Poison looks so pretty
Pretty in the sky tonight

What do I tell my grandkids about the world we gave them?

Poison in the water
Poison in the air
Poison in the words we speak when we can’t reach common threads
Poison in the dollar that divides you and I
Poison looks so pretty
Pretty in the sky tonight
Tonight
Poison looks so pretty
Pretty in the sky tonight
