Well, there used to be a time when the sky was blue
When laying watching clouds was the thing to do.
That was the time when a cow only mooed
And you didn’t need to wear sun block 42.
Well, there used to be a time when the world was green
With forests and grass not money machines.
Used to be a time when the rivers flowed clean,
Now you have to know what parts-per-million means.
Don’t happen no more
Was a long time ago
What a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
There used to be a time when the land was your home
Some time back when the buffalo roamed
Used to walk for miles, the earth and you alone
Spending time where the wild things grow.
Don’t happen no more
Was a long time ago
What a pitiful shame
How the world has changed
