Gasoline Lyrics

It flows through the air and it floats on the water

It darkens the sky as it fouls the water

And the path that it takes through the earth to the water

Makes the time that it takes to arrive even shorter

Gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

Children should be heard but never seen

It floats through the air and it floats on the water

It poisons the sky as it poisons the water

And it leads us along like a lamb to the slaughter

And I gave it to my son and he gave it to his daughter

Gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

Children should be heard but never seen

The faith in the things we believe in is tattered

And the hope that we had for our lives has been shattered

And the air that we breathe makes us mad as a hatter

And the why and the where and the when doesn't matter

Gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

Children should be heard but never seen

It floats through the air and it floats on the water

It floats through the air and it floats on the water

And it leads us along like a lamb to the slaughter

And I gave it to my son and he gave it to his daughter

Gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

It runs it runs it runs on gasoline

Children should be heard but never seen

It runs and runs and runs on gasoline

It runs on smoke and fire and gasoline

It runs on smoke and fire and gasoline

Children should be heard but never seen
