Why did you separate me from the Earth?
Oh my God

Why did you separate me from the Earth?
My father
You drew lines miles high
In steel or nuclear

The forests of Borneo
White water in your mouth
I don't want your future
And I'll never return

I'll be born into the past
I'm never- never coming home

Why did you separate me- me from the Earth?
What did you stand to gain?
Why did you separate me from the Earth?
The rotten bodies threaded gold
The pitch of hair and sticky meat
The sea life cut with plastic
A white cross gilded gold
A case of white doves

Laying in the boiling snow
A sharp knife of concrete
The blue line of tuna's throat
And I don't want your future

I'm never- never coming home
I don't want your future
I'll be born before you're born
Why did you separate me- me from the Earth?
What did you have to gain?
Why did you separate me from the Earth?
What did you have to gain?
Why did you separate me from the Earth?
What did you have to gain?
