The John Butler Trio

Earthbound Child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Lock onto the shit 'cause you're the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Lock onto the shit 'cause you're the earthbound child

What goes up they say is coming down

I got my head in the sky and my roots in the ground

I'm not patriotic man for what it's worth

I pledge allegiance to this land and my Mother Earth

What I am, I said is what I be

I be damned if you cut down all those trees

Clear felling all this good land, I do see

We'll all be damned if you cut down all those trees

What I am, I said is what I am

I be damned if I stone cold killa man

In the name of a flag, a patriotic game

You got blood on your hands it ain't me to blame

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit

Everybody crying but they don't know why

Well don't look up now there's a hole in the sky

And if we don't change soon everybody gonna die

You better jump ship now you better hope you can fly

Over population say we gotta face

You're gonna send us all away out to outer space

Singing, yippie hurray for the human race

I don't wanna live my life in no outer space

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

I got six white candles

You know they're too hot to handle

You know I'm lighting them up

'Cause you know I'm a vandal

Sticking them up all around my room

'Cause ya know what I'm into

Oh yeah, the voodoo

Yes I go hard

Yes I go the full mile, yes I go hard

I'm going full with style, yes I go hard

You know I'm wick a wild

You know what they call me I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Lock onto the shit 'cause you're the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit I'm the earthbound child

Earthbound child, earthbound child

Come up with the shit

Lock onto the shit

Come up with the shit

Lock onto the shit
