Let us pretend we've got it together Let us ignore the coming sun We'll sing the body electric Until machine and soul are one I've seen the tweaker struggle Syringes lined his floor A cycle churned to life By dead end jobs and a government's war Oh, in time the trees die And light will fade But I hope for a new breath A new life to take me away One by one the monsters trample Through woods and dirt they feed What sort of world and plight For our children must we lead? Let us burn the nation's budget Let's send boys overseas To fight ghosts in the desert Instead of teaching them to give and lead Oh, in time the trees die And light will fade But I hope for a new breath A new life to take me away In time We sing in time
