Joe Jackson - Obvious Song Lyrics
There was a man in the jungleTrying to make ends meetFound himself one day with an axe in his handWhen a voice said buddy can you spare that treeWe gotta save the world - starting with your landIt was a rock n roll millionaire from the usaDoing 3 to the gallon in a big white carAnd he sang and he sang til he polluted the airAnd he blew a lot of smoke from a cuban cigarAnd the stars are looking downThrough a hole in the skyAnd if they can see, they cryThats obviousAnd the walls are coming downBetween the west and the eastYou dont have to be a hippie to believe in peaceThats obvious . . . obviousThere was a kid in the city selling crack to get byGot caught one day with a gun in his handWhen a voice said, okay, get em up in the airYoure too young to live like thisBut you aint too fast to die.Just another foot-soldier in a stupid little warAnother sound-bite on the american sceneCaught between the supplier only dreaming of moneyAnd the demand of the man with moneyWho needs a little help to dreamSo we starve all the teachersAnd recruit more marinesHow come we dont even know what that meansIts obviousAnd the walls are coming downBetween the eagle and the doveYou dont have to be a hippie to believe in loveThats obvious . . . obvious
