Whenever my head starts to hurt Before it goes from bad to feeling worse I turn off my phone I get down low And put my hands in the dirt
I try to stop the world from moving so fast Try to get a grip on where I’m at AND simplify This dizzy life And put my feet in the grass
I’m going back to the earth I’m going back to the earth I’m going back to work I’m going back to the earth
The only explanation for a high rise Must be that everybody wants to get high And move on up To a deluxe Apartment in the sky
Well, the higher we go, the taller we grow We lose sight of the land below Well, you can have your place Up in outer space ‘Cause my home is where my food is grown
[2x] I’m going back to the earth I’m going back to the earth I’m going back to work I’m going back to the earth
(All right lets get the rest in over this bridge)
We are animals (we are animals) We are wild (we are wild) We started with the motion At the bottom of the ocean Now we’re swinging from the tops of the trees
We are animals (we are animals) We are wild (we are wild) And to truly be forgiven We must all get back to living With the land in harmony
[4x] I’m going back to the earth I’m going back to the earth I’m going back to work I’m going back to the earth (Two more times around!)
