[English]

There's a hole in our logic

There's a hole in the sky

And one day just like magic

We're all going to die

'Cause we didn't turn the lights off

And we didn't take the bus

Even though we know we should have

Oh, silly old us

Well, we should have recycled

And saved our resources

While there's still someone else's

Someone call the armed forces

And we'll blame it on terror

Also known as religion

But we shouldn't feel guilt

For protecting our children

Excuse me, sir

But is this what they call denial?

Just to carry on regardless

We'll only do it for a while

We'll carry on straight down the line

Down the road to nowhere

Do you know where it is leading us?

And do we even wanna go there

I don't have the answers

I don't know where we start

Start to pick up all the pieces

Of everything we've torn apart

Now, you'd think that we'd be grateful

For the fact we've got a choice

Instead we throw it back at people

Who don't even have a voice

And the teachers always told us

Told us we should love thy neighbor

And my mother always told me

Told me I should vote new labor

But I don't know who to trust

And I just find it all confusing

All as useless as each other

Past the point of being amusing

Excuse me, sir

But is this what they call denial?

Just to carry on regardless

We'll only do it for a while

We'll carry on straight down the line

Down the road to nowhere

Do you know where it is leading us?

And do we even wanna go there?

Excuse me, sir

But is this what they call denial?

Just to carry on regardless

We'll only do it for a while

We'll carry on straight down the line

Down the road to nowhere

Do you know where it is leading us?

And do we even wanna go there?
