Hey, Father Dirt, what do you think about church?
Hey, Mother Earth, my Lord is a birch.
What about this future? It's just a modern past.
And you're a goddamned fool if you think it'll last.
We'll all be dust when this ship's sunk.
I got shivers in me timbers...when'll I see my sun?
When I'm treated with respect instead of the bankroll you hold.
Ain't the point of it all to be buried with our gold? Go!
Trees and ice and flint and steel
Went downhill when they made the wheel
'Bout four months now and nineteen days
Alls I've seen is trees and ice.
OoTrees and ice (Oo trees and ice)
Oo flint and steel (Oo flint and steel)
Oo trees and ice (Oo trees and ice)
Oo flint and steel (Oo flint and steel)
Well, forget what you've known
and forget what you've seen
Lost it all with the TV screen
Oo trees and ice (Oo trees and ice)
Oo flint and steel (Oo flint and steel)
Oo trees and ice (Oo trees and ice)
Oo flint and steel (Oo flint and steel)
Oo!
