City Air

For years the fossil fuel lobby nuclear fool has run the world keeping cruel financial rule
conning all the baa-baa people to become the stoolies in the trick of getting poisoned now.
How easy we coughed all the moolah up like the fumes we puff into the atmosphere.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Inhale the city air.
Inhale the city air.

Exhaust fumes spewed from the travel machines,

went up into the atmosphere and made it unclean.
The ozone layer there to protect everyone isn't filtering the harmful effects of the sun.
You wash your hair everyday from the skin-dust blown in the tubes.
Your clothes rancified by the smoke, you choke
at the knowledge you've lost behind the TV screen.
The scenes you see are real.
You can't relate to future shocks -
the games to keep you blind, sublime and out of mind.
blind, sublime and out of mind.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Inhale the city air.
Inhale the city air.

To the poison industry we drink our glasses dry
with the pressured farmer fools who just can't relate,
to the killing of the land and world starvation.
Relate the jungle to the burger and the death of the nation,
to the rain-forest falling all around our feet
for a piece of furniture to make a boardroom look neat
while the chainsaws roar out a human defeat
all that we can manage is a chorus of bleats.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Inhale the city air.
Inhale the city air.

In the cities of the world where we're herded to breathe in
the air of confusion put there to deceive us
the people carry on living normal lives, i.e.
Heads in the sand, arses in beehives.
True love of the earth is lost in our minds.
We spend money poisoning our planet kind.
The world is rent apart like a fruit and we pick at it,
peer at it, chew and spit out the immortal stone of life,
the immortal stone of life, spit out, spit out, spit out.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Inhale the city air.
Inhale the city air.

See what you're missing baby.
Take a ride in my big car.
Let my guns impress you.
I'll maybe let you suck my cigar.
Let me take you to my world.
You don't even have to think.
You just inhale..

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Inhale the city air.
Inhale the city air.

This planet is a toy.
We're leaving soon but first we'll destroy.
We'll make a hell on earth, a jumping point for heaven,
the incentive used to help us die for those who control our lives
via the games we play
just like monopoly
to make the money that it takes to make my future fantasy.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
Inhale the city air.
Inhale the city air.

My fantasyhere it comes.
We go to future where the polar ice caps have melted in the rays of the sun.
The sea evaporates and steams across the sky up above.
The clouds are thick and dark and lightning forks and dances quick jigs.
The rain is now so acid to go out you'd need to wear a lead wig.
Fifty seconds there, I hop back here and let you see how I look.
You don't believe the radiation sores you think I'm a spook.
You see I bring a taste of our projected future stew,
the wicked recipe you're helping make to destroy you.
Aow let's take a deep breath.

Inhale the city air.
Inhale the city air.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
