How do you kill a mountain?
How do you make it fall?
Well you chip away
Every day
And soon the clay
Will fade away
And the hole you've dug
In the dream you hug
Will be like a bug
In your ear
Can't you hear


How do you kill the sunshine?
How do you turn it out?
Well you close your eyes
To the cries
And the lies
In the law's disguise
And the light will fade
In the evenin' shade
Which is only made
By the sun
Are you dumb


How do you kill the ocean?
How do you make it dry?
Well you first dilute
Then pollute
Cut the fruit
At the root
And the ocean's floor
Will be like a whore
Who will lie no more
'cause she's dead
Use your head


How do you kill the country?
How does she disappear?
Well you trade your tent
In for rent
That will be spent
On poured cement
And the things that grew
When the earth was new
Which have nurtured you
Will be gone
Blow your horn


How do you kill an idea?
