[Verse 1]
This air I breathe, yeah
It don't belong to me, no, no
I suck it in, I blow it out
It just won't stay in my mouth
[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't they find a solution
To what's causin' the pollution?
[Chorus]
Don't they care
What's happenin' to the air?
Woah, don't they know if they keep doin' what they're doin'
Ain't got long to go? Yeah
[Verse 2]
This air I'm breathin'
It don't belong to me, no
Well, it don't cost nothin', nothin'
I can get it, get it all for free
[Pre-Chorus]
Things are bad, there's no denyin'
Air so thick, it leaves you cryin'
[Chorus]
Don't they care
What's happenin' to the air?
Woah, can't they see that the birds in the trees
Are dyin' more and more every day?
[Verse 3]
Someday there'll be, yes, it will
The finest air around, yeah
Green, pure and sweet and warm
So cold, cold and nice
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Don't they care
What's happenin' to the air?
Oh, can't they see that the birds in the trees
Are dyin' more, more every day? Yeah
[Verse 4]
This air I'm breathin'
Don't belong to me, no, no
Well, it don't cost nothin', not one penny
I can get it, I can get it all for free
[Outro]
Everybody needs it
Why don't we take care of our fresh air? Yeah, yeah, yeah
Someday, there'll be, when it's all gon' die
If we don't clean it up
Someday, there's gonna be, there's gonna be, gonna be
The finest air around
We gotta, we gotta get it together
Take care of our air right now
Yeah
