Lyrics

Here we stand
 Like an Adam and an Eve
 Waterfalls
 The Garden of Eden
 Two fools in love
 So beautiful and strong
 The birds in the trees
 Are smiling upon them
 From the age of the dinosaurs
 Cars have run on gasoline
 Where, where have they gone?
 Now, it's nothing but flowers
 There was a factory
 Now, there are mountains and rivers
 You got it, you got it
 We caught a rattlesnake
 Now, we got something for dinner
 We got it, we got it
 There was a shopping mall
 Now, it's all covered with flowers
 You've got it, you've got it
 If this is paradise
 I wish I had a lawnmower
 You've got it, you've got it
 ♪
 Years ago
 I was an angry young man
 I'd pretend
 That I was a billboard
 Standing tall
 By the side of the road
 I fell in love
 With a beautiful highway
 This used to be real estate
 Now, it's only fields and trees
 Where, where is the town?
 Now, it's nothing but flowers
 The highways and cars
 Were sacrificed for agriculture
 I thought that we'd start over
 But I guess I was wrong, hey
 Once there were parking lots
 Now, it's a peaceful oasis
 You got it, you got it
 This was a Pizza Hut
 Now, it's all covered with daisies
 You got it, you got it
 I miss the honky tonks
 Dairy Queens and 7-Elevens
 You got it, you got it
 And as things fell apart
 Nobody paid much attention
 You got it, you got it
 ♪
 I dream of cherry pies
 Candy bars and chocolate chip cookies
 You got it, you got it
 We used to microwave
 Now, we just eat nuts and berries
 You got it, you got it
 This was a discount store
 Now, it's turned into a cornfield
 You got it, you got it
 Don't leave me stranded here
 I can't get used to this lifestyle
