Will our children look back

With hatred or despair

At a generation of idiots

Who just didn't care

About the fossil fuel fumes

And the aerosol sprays

That put holes in the ozone

And let in the rays

That can cause cancer in humans?

And what is it all worth

Heating up our globe

Destroying our own Earth?

What will they think

Of us with no concern

About the seas of shit

And radiation burn?

We who watched

The waters of the world

Turn to lakes of lava

Killing every form of life?

Will they have regrets

For being born at all

Into a world where only

Acid rain can fall

On all the empty fields

And on the vacant lots

Where cockroaches and crab grass

Are the only crops?

Acid rain dissolving away

The monuments of man

Run for your lives!

Acid rain

Smell the rain coming?

Acid rain

Run for cover now!

Acid rain

The water is on fire!

Acid rain
