I get up early and look out the window
I wonder if the sun will heat or if the clouds will come
I get up early and look out the window
I guess they could soften and cool the atmosphere
Refresh my skin, refresh my mind
Refresh the sky, refresh the ground
Waiting months for the water in vain
Waiting so long for some drops of rain
Yesterday morning it was already hot
The day before was worse, almost unbearable
Four years ago this place was lush and green
Blue gold flowed freely. No talk of rationing
Refresh my skin, refresh my mind.
Refresh the sky, refresh the ground
Waiting months for the water in vain
Waiting so long for some drops of rain
The scientists say yes, and you think it’s true now
The scientists say no, please stay after school
Newspapers say yes, you’re the right puppet now
Newspapers say no, you’ve still been had, you fool!
Cutting trees in the south brings drought to the north
Cutting trees in the south brings drought to the north
I get up early and look out the window
I wonder if the sun will heat or if the clouds will come
I get up early and look out the window
I guess they could soften and cool the atmosphere
Refresh my skin, refresh my mind.
Refresh the sky, refresh the ground
Waiting months for the water in vain
Waiting so long for some drops of rain
I’m sweating this morning like I was last night
I was lying awake, the moon lit up my room
Behind the curtains the shade of our willow
Remained sadly blank. No wind and no breeze
Refresh my skin, refresh my mind.
Refresh the sky, refresh the ground
Waiting months for the water in vain
Waiting so long for some drops of rain

The scientists say yes, and you think it’s true now

The scientists say yes, newspapers say no, ooh
The scientists say no, newspapers say yes
Newspapers say yes, the scientists say no, ooh
Newspapers say no, the scientists say yes
The scientists say yes, newspapers say no, ooh
The scientists say no, newspapers say yes
Newspapers say yes, the scientists say no, ooh
Newspapers say no, the scientists say yes |
