LYRICS
The air in Beijing
Is breathtaking
If you go there
You better be taking your own air
You’re not suppose to be able to see
The quality
Of air
Beware!
The air in Tehran
Iran
It’s terrorizing
We’re not alone
Closer to home
Philadelphia
Well, the air there
Is filth dealt to ya
Breathtaking
Better not gasp
’cause your lungs won’t last
You’re not suppose to be able to see
The air quality
We’ve gotta gotta find
Rack your mind
We’ve gotta find
A solution to all our air pollution
Gotta find
What comes to mind?
For crying out loud
My, Lord!
We’re not suppose to be able to see the air quality
We’re not suppose to be able to see the air…
Quite frankly
Living in a fog
When you’re living in smog
Clearly there’s no clarity
The air there is breathtaking
If something’s ever been meant for “goodness saking”
It’s air that’s breathtaking
