If you ride on a plane
You could miss your destination
See the acid in rain
Falling down upon a nation

Wise in invention
And weak in intention
You re the wiser

There s our rivers and streams
Water is not fit for drinking
We re polluting our dreams
Isn t anybody thinking, yeah

We re wise in our dealings
But weak in our feelings, yeah
Is the planet s fate
Just a chance we take

Ask yourself
Is it fair
What am I doing?
And do I really care?

Help the sick and the old
Feed the people if they re hungry
Sleep outside and they re cold
More to life than making money, yeah

We re wise in our power
Then weak in the hour
What we re heading down
Has to go around
