Текст песни: Lake Michigan + перевод

Let’s go down to the lake and take a swim in toxic waste

I dive in, the buildings soar so high I cannot see the sky

There’s something strange about this big city

I think I could do without this big city life

I’ll move to the mountains

And build my own log cabin

And enjoy being alone all by myself

Instead of feeling lonely on this crowded train downtown

Perhaps it was the industrial revolution that

Led the way to this pollution of our planet

And then the evolution of technology

Perhaps it couldn’t have been avoided

And the paradox of technology

Is that it may save what we’ve destroyed

But who really cares about having cleaner air?

Factories roar every day and pollute the air away

And what about the landfills and the toxic waste

Bringing disease to our children, water and land?

When I ride the train, sometimes I get a stare

Rarely do I get a smile

People are so concerned with their identity

No one cares enough to talk as human beings

But how can we find a solution

Without communication?

If it’s become too late

For our generation

Let’s go down to the lake and take a swim in our mistakes
