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?
