[verse 1] Terror cleared the skyline and anger clouded judgement, So they spent a thousand nighttimes in the desert fighting something, That they couldn’t find, that made it something that they couldn’t fight, Left us all lamenting all the wrongs that they couldn’t right, This is for the second time, we've been here before, From Vietnam to Saddam, we always needing a war, Neo-conservatives rose up like Viet Cong, Their fingers on the trigger — we won’t be here long [verse 2] They killed MLK and they named a day after him, They killed JFK and named an airport after him, Some guy shot a monster called Reagan so he could bone, A girl named Jodie Foster, if only he’d known, We tested nukes in the atmosphere, the sea and dirt, And they tested all these missiles just to see if they worked, Now France got ‘em, Russia got ‘em, India and Pakistan, Korea want ‘em, states want ‘em pointed at the Taliban [chorus] As we walk into the sun, can you believe what we have become? As we walk into the sun, can you believe what we have become? [verse 3] Internet, 3G, cellular phones, Serial killers built mini-cells in their homes, We had Manson, Bundy, Gacy, Son of Sam, Macarena, Superman, chicken dance, running man, Generation X and Generation Y, And the generation next will degenerate and die, ‘Cause we got holes in the ozone that we put there ourselves, Now the poles are a no-go, Earth’s cooking itself [verse 4] We can’t look at ourselves so we got saline, botox, Eighteen fake tits, nineteen detox, Don’t stop, get it, get it, can’t afford it get it credit, Buy it, spend it, try it, getting fat? Then you better shed it, Ab-swing, blue blocker, Tupac or Biggie, East coast, west coast, Fat Joe or Fifty, Thatcher the shifty Iron Lady, Tony Blair, A princess died, some say ‘cause she got Dodi there [chorus] As we walk into the sun, can you believe what we have become? As we walk into the sun, can you believe what we have become? [verse 5] Whitlam, Keating, Hawke and a promise, Of no children in poverty — wish that could have been honest, We had Abbott and Costello, right-wing overloads, Promises and children, they threw ‘em both overboard, Overwrought refugees thrown to a group home, Or jailed for the crime of looking for a new home, Elvis died, Hendrix died, Lennon died, Genocide in Africa, Serbia, Cambodia, pesticides, bio-toxins, chemical warfare [bridge] All’s fair in love and war, more work for the pallbearer, More terror, more unjust search and seizures, A tidal wave came and claimed the coast of Indonesia, Quakes in Iran, Japan and California, Greenhouse gas turned the world into a sauna… [final chorus] As we walk into the sun, can you believe what we have become? As we walk into the sun, can you believe what we have become? When we look back at what we have done, Can you believe what we have become? As we walk into the sun… [outro] As we walk into the sun…
