Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Lock onto the shit cause you're the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Lock onto the shit cause you're the Earthbound Child
What goes up
They say is coming down
I got my head in the sky
And my roots in the ground
I'm not patriotic man
For what it's worth
I pledge allegiance to this land
And my Mother Earth
What I am
I said is what I be
I be damned if you cut down all those trees
Clearfelling all this good land.
I do see
We'll all be damned if you cut down all those trees
What I am
I said is what I am
I be damned if I stone cold killa man
In the name of a flag
A patriotic game
You got blood on your hands it ain't me to blame
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit
Everybody crying
But they don't know why
Well don't look up now there's a hole in the sky
And if we don't change soon everybody gonna die
You better jump ship now you better hope you can fly
Over population say we gotta face
You're gonna send us all away out to outerspace
Singing yippie hurray for the human race
I don't wanna live my life in no outer space
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
I got six white candles
You know they're too hot to handle
You know I'm lighting them up
Cause you know I'm a vandal
Sticking them up all around my room
Cause ya know what I'm into
Oh ya the voodoo
Yes I go hard
Yes I go the full mile
Yes I go hard
I'm going full with style
Yes I go hard
You know I'm wick a wild
You know what they call me I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Lock onto the shit cause you're the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit
Lock onto the shit
Come up with the shit
Lock onto the shit
