歌詞
[Verse 1]
Troubled the world over
Trouble found my child's mind
Each morning, the sea wakes up coughing
Coughs up the bottles and bags left behind
[Verse 2]
David's gone
Mom's beside herself
David's gone
[Verse 3]
The Inupaq watching the ice melt
Bring back no caribou
What little they get from the hunt
They share out 'cause that's what they're brought up to do
[Verse 4]
The TV is on
Mom's beside herself
The TV is on
[Verse 5]
The lyrebird mimics the chainsaw and camera shutters
How as he's mocking the poacher do you hear a protector?
[Verse 6]
David's gone
Mom's beside herself
David's gone
[Verse 7]
The Homosassa river sea cow
With a dirty word etched in its back
Has no choice but to eat the red tide bloom
And the Capitol's under attack
[Verse 8]
Eve stands at the polling station
Clutching her grandmother's cross
She pictures her family and friends
Picks up the pen and she fills in the box
[Verse 9]
The TV is on
Mom's beside herself
The TV is on
She gave him her whole life
The lyrebird mimics the chainsaw
[Verse 10]
Troubled the world over
Trouble found my child's mind
This morning, the flag's flying at half staff
And the rain doesn't show up on time
[Verse 11]
David's gone
Mom's beside herself
David's gone
She gave hime her whole life
The lyrebird mimics the chainsaw
