POISON RAIN

The smokestacks burn and the engines roar,

We keep on pushing like we want more,

But everything we send up in the sky,

Don't just disappear — it don't wave goodbye.

The sky used to be something pure and clean,

Now it carries things hidden and not seen,

Chemicals and toxins riding every cloud,

Falling back to earth like a poisoned shroud.

(Chorus)

What goes up must come down, that's the law of this land,

And we're drowning in the poison of our own hand,

It's in the rain, it's in the air, it's in everything we eat,

The earth is crying out and she's dying on her feet.

It gets into our food, it gets into our bread,

We're eating what we're breathing without being said,

The fruit on the vine and the grain in the field,

Are carrying the burden of what we revealed.

The earth is in a bad place, anybody see?

We ruined the air, now it's poisoning you and me,

It's gonna get worse before it gets better, friend,

Stay calm, but stay ready, we are near the end.

(Bridge)

So don't you panic, just open your eyes,

The warning's been written across the skies,

We're waking up slow to what we've done,

What we put in the air is touching everyone.

Our children breathe what we left behind,

A legacy of damage to the body and mind,

The soil is sick and the water runs grey,

And nobody knows how much we've got to pay.

(Chorus)

What goes up must come down, that's the law of this land,

And we're drowning in the poison of our own hand,

It's in the rain, it's in the air, it's in everything we eat,

The earth is crying out and she's dying on her feet.

What goes up must come down, that's the law of this land,

And we're drowning in the poison of our own hand,

It's in the rain, it's in the air, it's in everything we eat,

The earth is crying out and she's dying on her feet.

What goes up must come down, that's the law of this land,

And we're drowning in the poison of our own hand,

It's in the rain, it's in the air, it's in everything we eat,

The earth is crying out and she's dying on her feet.
