Gm                               Gm/A#
I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms.
Dm
I see rockets, missiles in the sky.
Gm
Poor world, poor world.

Gm
Concrete’s rising up
Where yesterday was park,
    Dm
You heard the Robin’s song.
Gm
Heavy tractor runs
Where air was clean and cool,
     Dm
Make money burning fuel.

Where will this lead to?
Cm
What is this good for?
Gm
Poor world,
Poor world.

Fishes doomed to die
As people live close by
    Dm
And oak tree falls with moan.

Parking lots will come
Where flower fields were bright

As junkyard covers sight.

Where will this lead to?

     We surely do, in pieces we do.
     G       G/F# Em             Am7
     We kill the world, kill the world,
            D7
     ‘Cause we don’t know what we are doing.

Gm
Promenades must go,
So cars can drive in row,
    Dm
New factory towers tall.
Gm
Farmhouse had to fall,
No flowers in the air,
   Dm
Pollution everywhere.
D#
Where will this lead to?

And what is this good for?
