You’ve been in the dark let me shed some light on our situation I have a found a map hidden in the dirt tell me what you’re thinking This is our big chance let us set sail to adventure island no GPS just a compass that is barely working Feel the sunlight beat upon our skin we’re ready to begin Bring the food I’ll bring the fun We won’t tell anyone Bring only what you need I don’t when we will be back again We’re heading overseas I’m glad you’re with me I don’t know how this will end Feel the sunlight beat upon our skin we’re ready to begin Bring the food I’ll bring the fun We won’t tell anyone We’ve been searching this beach for months X marks the spot, X marks the spot We’ve been digging around a lot X marks the spot, X marks the spot (X2) Feel the sunlight beat upon our skin we’re ready to begin Bring the food I’ll bring the fun We won’t tell anyone

Evolution revolution we all want a fair solution However pollution isn’t something I’d take Ever growing population is destroying vegetation Natural resources are eliminating Attitude in every person competion retribution Why not make a resolution annually Education explanation mindless talk evaporation Brain is on vacation while my body can’t be Chemicals by the bucket we don’t have a place to chuck it Dump it in the ocean ‘cuz the sea life won’t mind Black smoke from the big truck, driver is a little drunk Driving down the highway trying to make it on time Kaboom A-bomb, everybody stay calm I’m sure the government has got it under control Forfeit I surrender, a worthy contender You’ve gone and made the military commander proud love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is black smoke love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air but the air but the love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is black smoke love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is polluted Eyes glued to the television without any supervision No wonder the kids are going crazy these days Garbage is accumulating, never-ending unforgiving Put it in a rocket-ship and send it to space Music can be therapeutic above all it’s cinematic I dare you to try and watch a movie without it Drug addiction, prostitution found in every institution It’s impossible for the police to get a handle on it Criminals doing time, paparazzi doing fine Taking private photos of rich and famous Animals strike a pose entertain the people Put them in a petting zoo and call them dangerous Grizzly bear, everybody stop and stare He’s a vegetarian so I’m sure you’re in the clear Camouflage virtually invisible Try to find me and you won’t that’s the principle love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is black smoke love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air but the air but the love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is black smoke love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is polluted I take a quick puff dealing with all this thick stuff You all know what's going on in the hood so shut up You're blinded to the fact, that good intentions are just that and if you don't know how to help then learn and just sit back Misrespect disrespect don't insult my intellect anyone can learn anything if you've got the internet, I promise Times are too real to be modest You need to look deep inside you and be honest Black smoke no explanation for all this love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is black smoke love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air but the air but the love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is black smoke love is in air but the air is polluted love is in air but the air is polluted

Who am I? Who are you? What we supposed to do? We are lost in the woods I don’t know What’s with this TV show in the woods Under the light of the sliver of the moon I saw a silhouette of a great bear He gave me his spirit through a telepathic passage and the thick fog mist rolled through the night air We protect the forest and the balance of the universe In the mind of an eagle we see the vast landscape traverse Reverse the encroaching cancers until the neck tie burns and we see the true answer Compete for money before the judge Compete for shelter and find a love We’re watching you from the comfort of our living room so don’t give up on us, on you Who am I? Who are you? What we supposed to do? We are lost in the woods I don’t know What’s with this TV show in the woods As I wipe the northern lights out of my eyes I feel like an animal in disguise Some self-prescribe a daily dose of LED optic imaginary life The rulers of TV land never break stride Market fake reality in one hour time Penetrate the aspects so you can't hide Any real experience sold as promotion contorted and hoarded in a digital fortress Compete for money before the judge Compete for shelter and find a love We’re watching you from the comfort of our living room so don’t give up on us, on you I’m gonna run away I”m coming with you I don’t care what they say I do not blame you I’m gonna run away I”m coming with you I don’t care what they say (what they say) Compete for money before the judge Compete for shelter and find a love We’re watching you from the comfort of our living room so don’t give up on us, on you on us, on you
