Story behind the song
We live in a polluted world
Lyrics
PASS ON THE POISON I turn on my TV, And it turns back on me; Drugs, sex, and violence Are the things that I see. Yeah, I gotta kill you So that you don’t kill me. Don’t call it homicide; It’s reality TV. They poison the water, And they poison the air. Pretty soon, they’ll poison People everywhere. They poisoned Mother Earth, And they poisoned Father Sky. How much poison can they spread Before even they must die? Turn on the radio, And it turns back on you; For every two jokes read, At least one will be blue. Shock jocks with their shock talk Have a dirty job to do. Deaden our minds and ears; Make the obscene seem new. They poison the water, And they poison the air. Pretty soon, they’ll poison People everywhere. They poisoned Mother Earth, And they poisoned Father Sky. How much poison can they spread Before even they must die? Now there’s the World Wide Web Spinning off uncontrolled. Everything from child porn To decency is sold. Food fights in cyberspace; Megabytes of fool’s gold Are rammed right down your throat – Your conscience is on hold. They poison the water, And they poison the air. Pretty soon, they’ll poison People everywhere. They poisoned Mother Earth, And they poisoned Father Sky. How much poison can they spread Before even they must die? Copyright © 2003 Lex Zaleta
