If it isn't our last warning, then what is it
Is mother nature laying down to die
If we had to start again from the beginning, you and I

Would we really have the faith to move a mountain
If we covered every angle in the book
Do you realize how long we have been dangling on this hook

If it's not about the winding Orinoco
And it's not about the feuds that never stop
If it isn't for our childrens' childrens' children
Well, then what

You don't need an invitation
You don't need a passion or a cause
You just need the inclination, it's yours

If we make it to the turning of this century
If we make it to this magic carpet ride
If we can change our twisted way of thinking
We'll survive

But you say you're only living for the minute
You say we'll never change it over night
You say if it's not one thing, it's another
Man, you're right
You say if it's not one thing it's another
WeIl, you're right
