Poison is bubbling   Beneath your dreamhome   Buried there years before   Kid runs in crying   From playing in the garden   "Mommy, I burned my hands!"   "What's making our eyes so itchy?"   "Don't rub 'em-they'll swell up."   Oh...Oh Oh Oh It's the big waste dump   Oh, yeah We built your ticky-tacky houses   On landfill soil   To cover up a gift   We left you years before   Of toxic chemicals   And leaking gas   Just dig a little while,   You'll find our acid baths      Cesspools In Eden   Oozing away...      Groundwater's poisoned   Air stings like hell   The lines for doctors growing long   Over martinis   The company laughs   "We don't owe you one damn thinging."   But what about all these fainting spells?   How'd you like a lick   From my open sores   And oh....oh oh oh-   Why are our babies stillborn?   A storage tank's leaking It's about to explode   Why evacuate   When you can watch the fun   Nothing happens here   Get out the lawn chairs   We'll drink pink lemonade   And watch Martinez burn      Cesspools In Eden   Oozing away   Cesspools in Eden   Leak by the day      The land we sold you   Is right atop our acid pits   We fill them by the truckload   In the dead of night   There's thousands more toxic   Tips of the iceberg   We pay a little bribe   Or we just don't report them   And see what you get-   Cesspools In Eden   In Eden No accident-   Just a little of our greed-fueled negligence   So you've found the proof why   Your cancer rate's shot up   But whatcha gonna do   When we've got all the cards   Times Beach, Rocky Flats,   Love Canal and Bhopal Merry Christmas, hostages   From the folks who care      Cesspools in Eden   Oozing away   Cesspools in Eden   Leak by the day   Cesspools in Eden   Have a nice day
