we're one big family out here in the zone

we have each other and we feel right at home

we have all we need except a mind of our own

in the zone



it doesn't rain here and it never gets cold

mr. sunshine's like the rest of us, he does what he's told

and the one we owe it all to's only seven years old

in the zone



and you can't get over it

and you can't get under it

you can't walk around it

you can't even get close to it

in the zone



it's awfully quiet here, you can't here a sound

no birds fly over, there's no birds to be found

I guess it's better than a hole in the ground

in the zone



and there's no trouble here and there's no war

nobody's hungry here and nobody's poor

inside the fishbowl all our troubles are gone

behind the barrier, life goes on

in the zone



and you can't get over it

and you can't get under it

you can't walk around it

you can't even get close to it

in the zone



the true believers were the first to be saved

they were the first to take their place in the caves

we don't get older here no we never age

in the zone
