Leaky Earth - Time, Giuseppe

This earth’s a Cadillac she sprung a leak

And the hole keeps growing every day every week

We tried everything but just can’t stop it

It’s safe to say this Cadillac is a coffin

The universe is an ocean, the earth is a boat

She sprung a leak, we tried to plug her with hope

We tried to fix her with money

We tried to fix her with treaties

We tried to fix her with trees

We tried to be greedy

We tried to plug her with music

We tried to plug her with prayer

But she just kept leaking like God wasn’t there

We tried to fix her with religion

We tried to fix her with prescriptions

We tried to fix her with stitches and surgical incisions

We tried to fix her with laws

We tried to fix her with truth

We tried to fix her with statistics, along with the proof

We tried to fix her with laws

We tried to fix her with police

We tried to fix her with bombs but we never tried relief

This earth’s a Cadillac, she spring a leak

And the hole keeps growing, everyday, every week

We’ve tried almost everything but just can’t stop it

It’s safe to say this Cadillac is a coffin

We tried to fix her with nothing

We tried to fix her change

We tried to fix her with TV

We tried to fix her with fame

We tried to plug her with plastic

We tried plug her with profit

We tried to plug her with rumors

We tried to plug her with gossip

We tried to fix her with pills

We tried to fix her with cures

We tried to fix her with guilt

We tried to fix her with fear

We tried to fix her with paint

We tried to fix her with glue

We tried to cover our mistakes but the leak just grew

We tried to plug her with God

We tried to plug her with blood

We tried to plug her with guns

We tried to plug her with drugs

We tried to fix her with pills

We tried to fix her with liquor

We put some wind in her sails but she just sank quicker

We tried to plug her with bodies

We tried to plug her with cancer

We tried to plug her questions

But we didn’t try the answers

We tried to fix her with war

We tried to fix her with grief

We tried to fix her with fighting

But we never tried peace

This earth’s a Cadillac, she spring a leak

And the hole keeps growing, everyday, every week

We’ve tried almost everything but just can’t stop it

It’s safe to say this Cadillac is a coffin
