Bedtime Stories

Everything is so unclear

how could we ever let this happen here

And with the turn of every page

another picture worth a thousand tears

Reading on with great dismay

another tanker has lost its way

And ninety million gallons spilled into the sea today

Don't make me tell bedtime stories

'Bout how it was when the Earth still had trees

Don't make me teil bedtime stories

Livin' in a world of "why" and "might have been"

Tellin' all about how I remember when

You can see it everywhere

we're adding colour to our atmosphere

Still we let the fires burn

we haven't got a lot of room up there

Now it seems this whole affair is burning holes in an ozone layer

Maybe I'm mistaken but don't we need to breathe this air

Think it's time we recognize

we've got a problem in paradise

Angles fall from troubled skies, wolves lay bleeding out upon thice

Some would say "just carry on

close your eyes now and don't

think twice"

Given our direction

this doesn't really seem like sound advice
