Lyrics: John Dawson
Music: John Dawson
Hey look in the air
There's smoke fillin' everywhere
And hey, look on the ground
There's blood spilling all around
Chorus
We live in the Garden of Eden, yeah
Don't know why you want to tear the whole thing to the ground
We live in the Garden of Eden, yeah
Don't know why you want to tear the whole thing down
Hey look at the green, green tree
It ain't quite as green, green as it used to be
And hey, look at the cool, clear water
It ain't quite as cool, clear as it ought to be
[chorus]
Hey look at the people
Sometimes we forget that we're just people
And we're falling head over heel
'Cause all of us forget quite how to feel
[chorus]
