Obvious Song Songtext

Obvious SongThere was a man in the jungleTrying to make ends meetFound himself one day with an axe in his handWhen a voice said "Buddy can you spare that treeWe gotta save the world - starting with your land"It was a rock 'n' roll millionaire from the USADoing 3 to the gallon in a big white carAnd he sang and he sang 'til he polluted the airAnd he blew a lot of smoke from a Cuban cigarAnd the stars are looking downThrough a hole in the skyAnd if theyc an see, they cryThat's obviousAnd the walls are coming downBetween the west and the eastYou don't have to be a hippie to believe in peaceThat's obvious . . . obviousThere was a kid in the city selling crack to get byGot caught one day with a gun in his handWhen a voice said, "Okay, get 'em up in the airYou're too young to live like thisBut you ain't too fast to die."Just another foot-soldier in a stupid little warAnother sound-bite on the American sceneCaught between the supplier only dreaming of moneyAnd the demand of the man with moneyWho needs a little help to dreamSo we starve all the teachersAnd recruit more MarinesHow come we don't even know what that meansIt's obviousAnd the walls are coming downBetween the eagle and the doveYou don't have to be a hippie to believe in loveThat's obvious . . . obvious
