The sky, all cut up by the trails of jets gone by (So you wonder why) The land, all dug up by the caterpillar man (So you understand) The trees, all cut down to build a town for me (All this gra** is green) How can this be good? I wanna know What it looked like in this place before we took the buffalo And cut it up to one And thought to call it home Hold on Don't know where it ends Don't know where it began I just know me The sea, all sailed upon by liars, cheats and thieves (Give them some like me) The fields, sunshine golden dreams are not recieved (We took all that we need) How can this be good? I wanna know What it looked like in this place before we took the buffalo How did we get here? I'd like to know If we look back on the videotape there's sure to be some National Geographic show With pictures of our bones Hold on Don't know where it ends Don't know where it began I just know me When I'm gone Who's gonna hold you down? Who's gonna drag you round? Oh no, not me (How can this be good?) I wanna know What it looked like in this place before we took the buffalo How did we get here? I'd like to know If we look back on the videotape there's sure to be some National Geographic show With pictures of our bones Hold on Don't know where it ends Don't know where it began I just know me When I'm gone Who's gonna hold you down? Who's gonna drag you round? Oh no, not me I just know me Oh no no
