Why Did You Separate Me from the Earth?

Why did you separate me from the earth? Oh my God, my father You drew lines miles high In steel or nuclear The forests of borneo White water in your mouth I don't want your future I'll never return I'll be born into the past I'm never coming home Why did you separate me from the earth? What did you stand to gain? The rotten bodies threaded gold The pitch of hair and sticky meat The sea life cut with plastic A white cross gilded gold A case of white doves Laying in the boiling snow A sharp knife of concrete The blue line of tuna's throat I don't want your future I'm never coming home I don't want your future I'll be born before you're born Why did you separate me from the earth? What did you have to gain?
