Until It's Gone

(album: The Daily Grind - 1993)

Buildings will replace the trees
Pollution will replace the air we breathe
I'm close to the mountain, just miles away
But I can't see the hills from here today

We can't just let it pass us by
And as I look into the sky
Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long

Take a picture of this place cos extinction is not so far away
Our skin will fry like a steak well done
When there's nothing between us and the sun

We can't just let it pass us by
And as I look into the sky
Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long

Until it's gone Until it's gone
Until it's gone We'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone

All the efforts seem to fall
With cars and cans of aerosol
I feel so guilty, then my pride will die
When I see the grey, self-created sky

Until we find a better way
We'll have to learn from all our big mistakes
Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long

Until it's gone Until it's gone
Until it's gone Until it's gone
You'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone

Seems like a letter that we cannot send
Fells like aluminum we cannot bend
Tastes like a mixture that we cannot blend
But we must change the course of the recipe to the end, to the end
