I See Hawks In L.A. - Environmental Children of the Future lyrics

The environmental children of the future Are making green plans for tomorrow The environmental children of the future Don't need to steal or borrow From their grandchildren's rain From their grandchildren's sun From their grandchildren's mountain The way that we have done The environmental children of the future Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah The environmental children of the future Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah The environmental children There's a willowy la** who was first in her cla** At the architecture school in the city With recycled materials she built towers filled with dreams Based on the pattern of a spinning falling leaf After graduation she moved away to Maine Now she's building hay bale shelters in the cold October rain CHORUS Well the hundred year floods came in September Then the hundred year floods came in November And the hurricanes and flames came down on the plains And the children of the future said “remember!” CHORUS The environmental children of the future Took their elders by the hand They said the earth is a self-regulating organism Let us help you understand And the willowy la** lay down on the gra** Singing prayers for the Great Barrier Reef And the sky overhead was her feathery bed Now floating freely like a spinning falling leaf CHORUS
