A one way ticket is all we need   No return, no guarantee   Straight ahead and don't look back   This train is on a one way track      Oh life, it's a precious thing   Don?t waste it all worrying   Time that?s lost can?t be returned   It?s another long hard lesson learned      Teach your children not to hate   Hope they learn before it?s too late   To get rid of the bad laws and keep the good   Save the oceans and the woods      When will we all understand   That the future?s in our hands?   Once it?s lost it can?t be returned   It?s another long hard lesson learned      I can see the writing on the wall   Open up your eyes, y'all and heed the call   When you play with fire, you?re bound to get burned   It's another long hard lesson learned      Another long hard lesson learned   Another long hard lesson learned   Another long hard lesson learned
