CESSPOOLS IN EDEN
Poison is bubbling / Beneath your dream home / Buried there years before / Kid runs in crying / From playing in the garden / “Mommy, I burned my hands!” / “What’s making our eyes so itchy?” / “Don’t rub ‘em - they’ll swell up” / Oh…Oh Oh Oh / It’s the big waste dump / Oh, yeah / We built your ticky-tacky houses / On landfill soil / To cover up a gift / We left you years before / Of toxic chemicals / And leaking gas / Just dig a little while, / You’ll find our acid baths / Cesspools / In Eden / Oozing away / Groundwater’s poisoned / Air stings like hell / The lines for doctors grow long / Over martinis / The company laughs / “We don’t owe you a damn thing.” / But what about all these fainting spells? / How’d you like a lick / From my open sores / And Oh…Oh Oh Oh / Why are our babies stillborn? / A storage tank’s leaking / It’s about to explode / Why evacuate / When you can watch the fun / Nothing happens here / Get out the lawn chairs / We’ll drink pink lemonade / And watch Martinez burn / Cesspools / In Eden / Cesspools in Eden / Leak by the day / The land we sold you / Is right atop our acid pits / We fill them by the truckload / In the dead of night / There’s thousands more toxic / Tips of the iceberg / We pay a little bribe / Or we just don’t report them / And see what you get- / Cesspools / In Eden / In Eden / No accident - / Just a little of our greed-fueled negligence / So you’ve found the proof why / Your cancer rate’s shot up / But watcha gonna do / When we’ve got all the cards / Times Beach, Rocky Flats, / Love Canal and Bhopal / Merry Christmas, hostages / From the folks that care / Cesspools in Eden / Oozing away / Cesspools in Eden / Leak by the day / Cesspools in Eden / Have a nice day
