The first thing I said this morning
It's nice to be alive
But at the rate we're going
How long can we survive

The first thing I saw this morning
Was polluted skies
Some people walking round
With tears in their eyes

[CHORUS]

What's the solution for pollution
Brain wash, mouthwash
Soda pop, Banana squash
All the money we got

A chicken in every pot

I went downtown at noontime
Meet my girl for lunch
There was people gathered round
All in a rush

Someone was making promises
That he would see us through
Raises the taxes a little higher
And I'll take care of you

[Repeat CHORUS]

All I want's to live in peace
Lord, a place to lay my head
And the freedom to roam this Earth
Until the day I'm dead

I want all the things for my kids
I'm not able to spare
The one more thing I wish for all of us
Is just a little too much fresh air

[Repeat CHORUS]
