Rotate your point of view
Concrete surrounds you
It used to be a field
With a tree where we all played
Suspend your disbelief
This world became of age
To the beautiful things
That flourished in your day
That's why I say...
[chorus]
Stop, stop the world I said
Stop stop, stop the world
Because I wanna get off, wanna get off, wanna get off
It's making me earthsick
Substitute what is now
For what had used to be
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me insane
My head keeps spinning
Progress is winning
I don't recognize the place
Where I grew up
This is no fantasy
The ground beneath your feet
Will soon be a store
With things that you don't need
That's why I plead...
[chorus]
Stop, stop the world I said
Stop stop, stop the world
Because I wanna get off, wanna get off, wanna get off
It's making me earthsick
Rotate your point of view
Concrete surrounds you
It used to be a field
With a tree where we all played
That's why I say...
Substitute what is now
For what had used to be
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me insane
[2x]
