The Weight of the World

Smoking down the track I'm a fireball mill Lord, coal's so black Can't even see the rail Falling tongues of steel Behind a driving wheel Pulls the weight of the world Coming up the road Another rubber tire four They got us hooked on oil 'Til the pipeline blow Such a shame to see Adding World War Three To the weight of the world Yeah, the weight of the world Up the top of a mountain Well I ?? Poisonous as the river With the devils's own sludge It's the American dream But if you live downstream Here comes the weight of the world Ton of plastic bottles Heading out to sea Bound to build an island Thanks to you and me Another man-made pearl For the junk we hurled Topped the weight of the world Yeah, the weight of the world We got to feed the baby Recompense [?] For we can't figure out Where all the money went Where there's a pauper to pay Can't get away From the weight of the world Look up in the sky Is it a bird or a plane? Taking logical lie Drove us all insane Since it sent us reeling The only thing with feeling Is the weight of the world First we get so numb Then we all succumb To the weight of the world Yeah the weight of the world (Let me get my guitar in there one more time)
