Oh, paradise in troubled waters Situation grim And we the reckless sons and daughters Spread the luck so thin Oh, the gross results and chain reaction Too late understood Leave us in embarrassed silence Wishing that we could Make the difference, see the light Carry the flag, lead the fight Save the whales, save the seals Save the trees and birds and fields And save each other. So we read the news with helpless eyes And look for ways to compromise But mostly we just do the best we can Is it just a part of what we are To want too much and go too far And contemplate with no regard What we don't understand. Oh, paradise in troubled waters Situation grim And we the reckless sons and daughters Spread the luck so thin Oh, the gross results and chain reaction Too late understood Leave us in embarrassed silence Wishing that we could Make the difference, see the light Carry the flag, lead the fight Save the whales, save the seals Save the trees and birds and fields And save each other. Oh, paradise in troubled waters...
