What would you do if it happened today If the moon turned to blue and the sun turned away When the oceans are black and the islands are red And the clocks won’t turn back and everyone’s dead What would you do? What would you do? What could you do?
Where do you run when there’s no place to hide When the heat of the sun starts to burn you inside When a walk down the street is a feat in itself When the back of your seat takes a crack at your health Where do you run? Where can you run?

Some stop and look and some turn away And some read the same book day after day Some are restricted and some of them free But all are inflicted by you and by me Now we all live with a dust laden sky And every river is yellow and dry Flowers crumble they don’t grow any more We just mumble and don’t know the score
But if the flame goes out on Kennedy’s grave We’ve still got the minds of the children to save Forget about the ways of all the roads that we paved It’s better to be stupid than it is to be brave
