Dead Kennedys - Cesspools In Eden Lyrics
Poison is bubblingBeneath your dreamhomeBuried there years beforeKid runs in cryingFrom playing in the gardenMommy, I burned my hands!Whats making our eyes so itchy?Dont rub emtheyll swell up.Oh oh oh ohIts the big waste dumpOh, yeahWe built your ticky-tacky housesOn landfill soilTo cover up a giftWe left you years beforeOf toxic chemicalsAnd leaking gasJust dig a little while,Youll find our acid bathsCesspoolsIn edenOozing awayGroundwaters poisonedAir stings like hellThe lines for doctors grow longOver martinisThe company laughsWe dont owe you one damn thing.But what about all these fainting spells?Howd you like a lickFrom my open soresAnd oh.oh oh ohWhy are our babies stillborn?A storage tanks leakingIts about to explodeWhy evacuateWhen you can watch the funNothing happens hereGet out the lawn chairsWell drink pink lemonadeAnd watch martinez burnCesspoolsIn edenOozing awayCesspools in edenLeak by the dayThe land we sold youIs right atop our acid pitsWe fill them by the truckloadIn the dead of nightTheres thousands more toxicTips of the icebergWe pay a little bribeOr we just dont report themAnd see what you getCesspoolsIn edenIn edenNo accidentJust a little of our greed-fueled negligenceSo youve found the proof whyYour cancer rates shot upBut whatcha gonna doWhen weve got all the cardsTimes beach, rocky flats,Love canal & bhopalMerry christmas, hostagesFrom the folks who careCesspools in edenOozing awayCesspools in edenLeak by the dayCesspools in edenHave a nice day
