Drivin' down the freeway, staring at the sun Longin' for protection from everything we've done Missin' the connection driftin' over our heads We're wearing out the world like a garment that's torn to shreds Burnin' down the forests so we can write a book Of how to save the knowledge of all we overlook From skyway central to the deep ocean beds We're wearing out the world like a garment that's torn to shreds So as we lift our eyes above and see the world below Everything we watch will disappear Sky will fade away and life will cease to grow Humanity's insanity is clear Turnin' down the TV, workin' through the news A model of dissension and contradictory views Can't avoid the feeling that we've all been mislead We're wearing out the world like a garment that's torn to shreds Torn to shreds Torn to shreds Torn to shreds Torn to shreds
