And the warblers sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!nAnd the sparrows sing: deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!nThrough the wheels, through the wheels on the interstate,nAnd hear no refrain.nnAnd the beetles creep (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)nOn the crippled trees, (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)nAnd they look down to where the soil must have been, wondering.nnAnd no, you're not alone. No, my cousins, you're not alone.nYou're in our talons now, and we're never letting go.nnAnd the branches bend (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)nTo the growing sea. (deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!)nAnd they ask, and they ask it to spread their seeds, nFor they know they're drowning.nnAnd no, you're not alone. No, my cousins, you're not alone.nYou're in our talons now, and we're never letting go.nYou're in our headlights, frozen, and no, we're not stopping.nYou may not believe, but even we were scared at first.nIt takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth.nWe're only human; this at least we've learned.
