Some folks are living in a dust bowl
I've seen them on TV, ah
Some folks are living in a dust bowl

Don't love like you and me, ah

Some folks live in little boxes

Underneath the railway station
Some folks live in little boxes
What a way to run a nation


When after all is said and done
We've only got one earth, one sun

There's nowhere in our universe
Where we can go if things get worse
We'd better make a start today

The problems here won't go away
We'd better take just one step back
Cos our beautiful bubble is about to crack


Some folks are breaking down the ozone
Breaking down the ozone layer

Some folks are messin' with the ozone
Hope they're around when it's time to pay, ah


Some folks are cuttin' down the forest
Cuttin' down the forest station
Some folks are cuttin' down the forest

Do we need the devastation?

Cos after all is said and done

We've only got one earth, one sun
There's nowhere in our universe
Where we can go if things get worse

We'd better make a start today
The problems here won't go away
We'd better take just one step back

Cos our beautiful bubble is about to crack

Some folks are living in a dust bowl

Some folks live in little boxes
Some folks are breaking down the ozone
Some folks are cutting down the forest
