I can take you downtown, where everything is brown But the people there don't care 'Cos love is all around You might think it's ugly, but somebody once told me Acceptance is harmony And I feel okay At least for today You can breathe the air if you want to But it leaves a nasty stain on the inside of you You can eat that food, but you don't know where it's been You can leave this dirty old world that we're living in But where will you go and anyway You only have so many heartbeats The revolution's coming, everybody thinks for themselves There's a nation humming A tune that I know well In the middle of commotion, everybody's chasing their tails There's a single-minded notion It's all coming to us Don't make such a fuss You can breathe the air if you wan tot But it leaves a nasty stain on the inside of you You can eat that food, but you don't know where it's been You can leave this dirty old world that we're living in But where will you go and anyway You only have so many heartbeats Only in the morning when I reach for my mask Only then I wish this breath could be my last You can breathe the air if you wan tot But it leaves a nasty stain on the inside of you You can eat that food, but you don't know where it's been You can leave this dirty old world that we're living in But where will you go and anyway You only have so many heartbeats
