Here we stand   Like an Adam and an Eve   Waterfalls   The Garden of Eden   Two fools in love   So beautiful and strong   The birds in the trees   Are smiling upon them   From the age of the dinosaurs   Cars have run on gasoline   Where, where have they gone?   Now, it's nothing but flowers      There was a factory   Now there are mountains and rivers   you got it, you got it      We caught a rattlesnake   Now we got something for dinner   we got it, we got it      There was a shopping mall   Now it's all covered with flowers   you've got it, you've got it      If this is paradise   I wish I had a lawnmower   you've got it, you've got it      Years ago   I was an angry young man   I'd pretend   That I was a billboard   Standing tall   By the side of the road   I fell in love   With a beautiful highway   This used to be real estate   Now it's only fields and trees   Where, where is the town   Now, it's nothing but flowers   The highways and cars   Were sacrificed for agriculture   I thought that we'd start over   But I guess I was wrong      Once there were parking lots   Now it's a peaceful oasis   you got it, you got it      This was a Pizza Hut   Now it's all covered with daisies   you got it, you got it      I miss the honky tonks,   Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens   you got it, you got it      And as things fell apart   Nobody paid much attention   you got it, you got it      I dream of cherry pies,   Candy bars, and chocolate chip cookies   you got it, you got it      We used to microwave   Now we just eat nuts and berries   you got it, you got it      This was a discount store,   Now it's turned into a cornfield   you got it, you got it      Don't leave me stranded here   I can't get used to this lifestyle
