Let's go down to the lake and take a swim in toxic waste I dive in, the buildings soar so high I cannot see the sky There's something strange about this big city I think I could do without this big city life I'll move to the mountains And build my own log cabin And enjoy being alone all by myself Instead of feeling lonely on this crowded train downtown Perhaps it was the industrial revolution that Led the way to this pollution of our planet And then the evolution of technology Perhaps it couldn't have been avoided And the paradox of technology Is that it may save what we've destroyed But who really cares about having cleaner air? Factories roar every day and pollute the air away And what about the landfills and the toxic waste Bringing disease to our children, water and land? When I ride the train, sometimes I get a stare Rarely do I get a smile People are so concerned with their identity No one cares enough to talk as human beings But how can we find a solution Without communication? If it's become too late For our generation Let's go down to the lake and take a swim in our mistakes
