[Verse 1]
Where do we draw the line on what's going on?
When do we take a stand and demand to know the truth?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solved
(We're in too deep) Not to get it solved
We got the sun for free so please explain to me
[Chorus]
Why gas is up a dollar I gotta holler "Holy smoke"
Ah they say atomic power could never hurt a flower, holy smoke
Every quick solution leads to more pollution, holy smoke
They say they found the answer - breathing causes cancer, holy smoke
All I can say is holy smoke
[Verse 2]
Why do we turn away from what's going on?
Will we ever believe again in those who hide the truth?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solved
(We're in too deep) Not to get it solved
Don't throw it all a way, it's easy enough to say
[Chorus]
When gas is up a dollar everybody holler "Holy smoke"
They say atomic power could never hurt a flower, holy smoke
Fifty-five faster could drive us to disaster, holy smoke
If I say "Go on and shove it" the media would love it, holy smoke
All I can say is holy smoke
(Holy smoke)
[Bridge]
Where do we draw the line?
When do we take a stand?
Why do we turn away?
Will we ever believe again?
[Pre-Chorus]
(Talk is cheap) Won't get the problem solved
(We're in too deep) Not to get it solved
Don't throw it all a way, it's easy enough to say
[Chorus]
When gas is up a dollar everybody holler "Holy smoke"
They say atomic power could never hurt a flower, holy smoke
Fifty-five faster could drive us to disaster, holy smoke
If I say "Go on and shove it" the media would love it, holy smoke
All I can say is "Holy smoke"
(Holy, holy, holy) Holy smoke
All I can say is "Holy smoke"
(Holy, holy, holy) Holy smoke
All I can say is "Holy smoke"
(Holy, holy, holy) Holy smoke
All I can say is "Holy smoke"
