Status Quo

my grass is green
but something's wrong today
is it denial behind the smile
on my neighbor's face?

if we want it we will take it
if we've got it than we'll break it
my TV tells me everything's okay

the sky ain't blue the way it used to be
the price we pay for what we claim:
progress and liberty

if we want it we will take it
if we've got it than we'll break it
my TV tells me everything's okay
is it okay?

we came here to destroy the thing
that brought us joy
and hopes of girls and boys
we came here for the earth,
instilled in us from birth:
take it for all it's worth
