| | | Artist: | Kennedys Dead |
| | Album: | Bedtime For Democracy | | Track: | Cesspools In Eden | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 98 | | | | Lyrics: | Jello Biafra/Dead Kennedys)
Poison is bubbling
Beneath your dreamhome
Buried
there years before
Kid runs in crying
>From playing in the garden
"Mommy, I
burned my hands!"
"What's making our eyes so itchy?"
"Don't rub 'em-they'll swell
up."
Oh...Oh Oh Oh
It's the big waste dump
Oh, yeah
We built your
ticky-tacky houses
On landfill soil
To cover up a gift
We left you years
before
Of toxic chemicals
And leaking gas
JUst dig a little while,
You'll
find our acid baths
Cesspools
In Eden
Oozing away...
Groundwater's
poisoned
Air stings like hell
The lines for doctors growing long
Over
martinis
The company laughs
"We don't owe you one damn thinging."
But what
about all these fainting spells?
How'd you like a lick
>From my open sores
And
oh....oh oh oh-
Why are our babies stillborn?
A storage tank's leaking
It's
about to explode
Why evacuate
When you can watch the fun
Nothing happens
here
Get out the lawn chairs
We'll drink pink lemonade
And watch Martinez
burn
Cesspools
In Eden
Oozing away
Cesspools in Eden
Leak by the
day
The land we sold you
Is right atop our acid pits
We fill them by the
truckload
In the dead of night
There's thousands more toxic
Tips of the
iceberg
We pay a little bribe
Or we just don't report them
And see what you
get-
Cesspools
In Eden
In Eden
No accident-
Just a little of our
greed-fueled negligence
So you've found the proof why
Your cancer rate's shot
up
But whatcha gonna do
When we've got all the cards
Times Beach, Rocky
Flats,
Love Canal and Bhopal
Merry Christmas, hostages
>From the folks who
care
Cesspools in Eden
Oozing away
Cesspools in Eden
Leak by the
day
Cesspools in Eden
Have a nice day
