Lake Michigan

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 can 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 the pollution of our planet

that and the evolution of technology

perhaps it couldn't have been avoided

the paradox of technology is that it may save what we've destroyed

but who really cares about having cleaner air

factories roar everyday and poullute 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 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
