The message read as it washed ashore
Skies turn black as my eyes look down
Written on the back of these words I've found

We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
It's been ours since birth, what'cha doin' on it
We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
Layin' claim at birth, what'cha doin' on it

Waterfalls of grain throw through our hands
We're too weak to stand and too weak to strain
Big trees wave and the air is still
Lovers climb at the top of a hill, and say

We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
It's been ours since birth, what'cha doin' on it
We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it
Laid our claim at birth, what'cha doin' on it

We watch the world from the padded cell
And our eyes scream what our lips must quell

{______________________________________}
{______________________________________}
Last bundle of twigs proves strong and young
We can hold our tongues at the top of our lungs

We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody
It's been ours since birth, and it's ours already
We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody
It's been ours since birth, and it's ours already
We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody
Don't tell a soul

I got my hands in my pockets and I'm waiting for the day to come
