| Will our children look back | |
| With hatred or despair | |
| At a generation of idiots | |
| Who just didn't care | |
| About the fossil fuel fumes | |
| And the aerosol sprays | |
| That put holes in the ozone | |
| And let in the rays | |
| That can cause cancer in humans? | |
| And what is it all worth | |
| Heating up our globe | |
| Destroying our own | |
| Earth? What will they think | |
| Of us with no concern | |
| About the seas of shit | |
| And radiation burn? | |
| We who watched | |
| The waters of the world | |
| Turn to lakes of lava | |
| Killing every form of life? | |
| Will they have regrets | |
| For being born at all | |
| Into a world where only | |
| Acid rain can fall | |
| On all the empty fields | |
| And on the vacant lots | |
| Where cockroaches and crab grass | |
| Are the only crops? | |
| Acid rain dissolving away | |
| The monuments of man | |
| Run for your lives! | |
| Acid rain | |
| Smell the rain coming? | |
| Acid rain | |
| Run for cover now! | |
| Acid rain | |
| The water is on fire! | |
| Acid rain |
