Leave It Behind

When we came here it was done

I felt completely useless

Never learned to quite adjust

And all along they knew this

Carousel would someday stop

And throw us off in anger

I guess I didn't think I 'd ever see this sitcom dramedy

They wrote the script for us already

It's not the time that makes us guilty

It's all done, the hatreds built, the walls divide

And when I die I'll leave you with these

Animals that think the future's in their minds

It's in their minds but they're so blind

And so I leave it behind, ecological man-made crime

And so I leave you behind

To these miraculous, intelligent, incredible, extraordinary minds

Junk mail stacked into the sky

Recycled paper and plastic

Then we said that we would try, decreasing figures were drastic

But I guess it did no good, nobody cares about it

Not much emotion in my neighborhood

My apartment's made of wood

I haven't given more than I could

It's not the time that makes us guilty

It's the ones before the ones that lit the fuse

Cancer causing, smog injecting in the vein

That makes the world go 'round so fast

And you won't last, it's in the past

So I leave it behind, ecological man-made crime

So I leave you behind

To these miraculous, intelligent, incredible, extraordinary minds
