you got your blazing red
you got your frozen breath
watch the countryside just bleed to death
and then the ground turns white
and the sky turns brown
and the whole damn world looks upside down
brown brown dead end town
just like a-living in a hole in the ground
brown brown upside down
well it isn't very nice here
and i wouldn't wanna live here
green, green, keep it clean
stick all your money up your money machine
green green perfect scene
oh it's very very nice here
but i wouldn't wanna live here
