about

Just thinking aloud

lyrics

when we're all gone the subdivisions
they'll turn back into their titles
when we're gone the land it'll
stake it's own claim
when we're all gone the animals
they'll have their own houses
and this old world will laugh as
she forgets our names

when we're all gone the coyotes
they'll be sleeping on sofas
when we're gone the bees will build
their hives in Cadillacs
and the monkeys will sleep on satin
and the high-rises in Manhattan
they'll be hundred story high...rabbitat
when we're gone

when there's no one left to sit on our asses
and ride around on gas engines
and mow the pretty grasses
the birds will sing as the time it passes
when we are all gone

when we're all gone the concrete will be
eaten by the weeds
when we're all gone the oceans
will be free of our disease
when we're all gone the planet
she'll get back up off her knees
and breathe, and breathe

when we're gone the ants
will take the grocery stores
when we're all gone
there won't be any rich or any poor
and the rats will make nests
in the Italian handbags of the whores
who entertained the politicians
that brought us poverty and war

when we're gone our good intentions
they won't even make a sound
when all the reasons that we needed them
come crashing to the ground
when we're gone we won't be missed
no one to hope that we come back
there'll be no proof that we existed
except for plastic and Big Macs
when we're all gone

when there's no one left to sit on our asses
and ride around on gas engines
and mow the fuckin grass, well
the birds will sing as the time it passes
when we are all gone
