Earth

My roots are rotting Cut me away from them Or rip me out like a weed A boulder in motion stays in motion Perpetually turning like the waves of the ocean The hands of the artist have been worked to the bone With nothing to show for when he's sent back home The power to raise a majestic mountain Is now just a tool for city construction Its beauty is lost in the machine Constant production destroys the serene The earth keeps moving The world keeps turning No time at all for reflection The earth keeps moving It won't stop spinning And we enter a new great depression Bending a boulder to their will Day after day down and uphill Time slips away back starts to break And thrown to the curb like the rest of the waste The earth keeps moving The world keeps turning No time at all for reflection The earth keeps moving It won't stop spinning And we enter a new great depression And you pray for the rain To wash it all away All that nightmarish pain But water won't do it You've got to work through it The earth keeps moving The world keeps turning No time at all for reflection The earth keeps moving It won't stop spinning Earth keeps moving World keeps turning Earth keeps moving World keeps turning Earth keeps moving World keeps turning Earth keeps moving World keeps turning Earth keeps moving World keeps turning
