From my bedroom window
I can see someone's torn a huge whole in the sky
The sun's violet rays shining down
on the place where the chemical rivers run dry
There's a rain falling down
but it's blistered the ground
outside my back door
It flows out to the sea
where the fish once swam free
near the petroleum shores

The world is spinning faster
while we're dancing with disaster
Will this generation last or will we burn
When will we learn
We've got to turn, turn

Turn before the closing door
is locked for good

In my rear view mirror I can see
where the forest has started to bleed
Earth stripped of its skin raped
by men on a whim fuelled by corporate greed
In their haste to make waste
they've moved south to a place
where they can cut down the trees
When the trees are all gone
they'll float on like a leaf held aloft
by El Nino's warm breeze

The world is spinning faster
while we're dancing with disaster
Will this generation last or will we burn
When will we learn
We've got to turn, turn

Turn before the closing door
is locked for good

We're burning bridges we cannot rebuild
Across all the dump sites we've already filled
How can we live on a planet we've killed

The world is spinning faster
while we're dancing with disaster
Will this generation last or will we burn
When will we learn
We've got to turn

Turn [x5]

Turn before the closing door is locked for good
Turn, turn, turn
before the closing door is locked for good
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
