Acid Rain
(Brecht)
Will our children look back with hatred or despair
At a generation of idiots who just didn’t care
About the fossil fuel fumes and the aerosol sprays
That put holes in the ozone and let in the rays
That can cause cancer in humans? and what is it all worth
Heating up our globe, destroying our own earth?
What will they think of us with no concern
About the seas of shit and radiation burn?
We who watched the waters of the world
Turn to lakes of lava, killing every form of life?
Will they have regrets for being born at all
Into a world where only acid rain can fall
On all the empty fields and on the vacant lots
Where cockroaches and crab grass are the only crops?
Acid rain dissolving away the monuments of man
Run for your lives!
Acid rain! smell the rain coming!
Acid rain! run for cover now!
Acid rain! the water is on fire!
Acid rain!
