There's an old
wooden bench
In the midst of a field
The parents would
cheer as the kids would steal bases
Overgrown with weeds
And rust from the rain
There's no hitting
home runs and no celebrations
It didn't take
much to make them happy
It didn't take
much to make them sad
It didn't take
much to shatter the diamond
In the end was it
really that bad?
Industrial wasteland
Industrial wasteland
Industrial wasteland
There's parking
and concrete
Where swamps used
to be
There's garbage
and garbage cans littering every street
There's liquid pollution
Running into the lake
There's no more
swimming and the fish are all dying
It doesn't take
much to make us happy
It doesn't take
much to make us sad
It doesn't take
much to mess up our lifestyle
In the end was it
really that bad?
Industrial wasteland
Industrial wasteland
Industrial wasteland
It doesn't take
much to make me happy
It doesn't take
much to make me sad
It doesn't take
much to fuck up the planet
In the end was it
really that bad?
Industrial wasteland
Industrial wasteland
