Only a Dream — текст песни (Adrian Belew)

The woman screams at the windy day

Her children play in the acid rain

The water is green and the sky is brown

The cars and buildings, all broken down



Now what in the world is happening here

Will somebody please explain

Nothing I see makes sense to me

Maybe its only a dream



The deer in the forest or the eagle in the sky

They see man coming and they run to hide

The birds on the shore will no longer fly

Theyre covered in oil and theyre bound to die



Now how in the world does that make sense

The killing of innocent beings

What in the world is wrong with us

Maybe its only a dream



The air we breathe and the food we eat

Poor mother earth was poisoned in her sleep



Now what in the world is happening here

Will somebody please explain

Nothing I see makes sense to me

Tell me its only a dream



The woman screams at the wind and rain

Its only a dream

Just a bad dream

What a bad dream
