Hey look in the air
There's smoke fillin' everywhere
And hey, look on the ground
There's blood spilling all around

We live in the garden of eden, yeah
Don't know why we want to tear
The whole thing to the ground
We live in the garden of eden, yeah
Don't know why we want to tear
The whole thing down

Hey look at the green, green tree
It ain't quite as green
Green as it used to be
And hey, look at the cool clear water
It ain't quite as cool and clear
As it ought to be, and

We live in the garden of eden, yeah
Don't know why we want to tear
The whole thing to the ground
We live in the garden of eden, yeah
Don't know why we want to tear
The whole thing down

Hey look at the people
Sometimes we forget
That we're just people
And we're falling head over heels
'cause all of us forget quite how to feel

We live in the garden of eden, yeah
Don't know why we want to tear
The whole thing to the ground
We live in the garden of eden, yeah
Don't know why we want to tear
The whole thing down
