Buildings will replace the trees   Pollution will replace the air we breathe   I'm close to the mountain, 15 miles away   But I can't see the hills from here today      We can't just let it pass us by   And as I look into the sky   Something in the atmosphere   Is telling me won't be here for long      Take a picture of this place   Cause extinction is not so far away   Our skin will fry like a steak well done   When there's nothing between us and the sun      Until it's gone, until it's gone, until it's gone   We'll never miss it until it's gone      All the efforts seem to fail   With cars and cans of aerosol   I feel so guilty, then my pride will die   when I see the gray, self-created sky      Until we find a better way   We'll have to learn from all our big mistakes   Something in the atmosphere   Is telling me it won't be here for long      Seems like a letter that we cannot send   Fells like aluminum we cannot bend   Tastes like a mixture that we cannot blend   But we must change the course,   Of the recipe to the end
