Dead Kennedys - Cesspools In Eden Lyrics

Submitted by: AUTO-ADD
Current Rating: None
Poison is bubbling
Beneath your dreamhome
Buried there years before

Kid runs in crying
From playing in the garden
"Mommy, I burned my hands!"


"What's making our eyes so itchy?"
"Don't rub 'em - they'll swell up."


Oh...Oh Oh Oh
It's the big waste dump


Oh, yeah
We built your ticky-tacky houses
On landfill soil
To cover up a gift
We left you years before


Of toxic chemicals
And leaking gas
Just dig a little while,
You'll find our acid baths


Cesspools
In Eden
Oozing away


Groundwater's poisoned
Air stinks like hell
The lines for doctors grow long


Over martinis
The company laughs
"We don't owe you a damn thing"


But what about all these fainting spells?
How'd you like a lick
From my open sores?


And oh....oh oh oh-
Why are our babies stillborn?


A storage tank's leaking
It's about to explode
Why evacuate
When you can watch the fun?


Nothing happens here
Get out the lawn chairs
We'll drink pink lemonade
And watch Martinez burn


Cesspools
In Eden
Oozing away
Cesspools in Eden
Leak by the day


The land we sold you
Is right atop our acid pits
We fill them by the truckload
In the dead of night


There's thousands more toxic
Tips of the iceberg
We pay a little bribe
Or we just don't report them


And see what you get -
Cesspools
In Eden
In Eden
No accident -
Just a little of our greed-fueled negligence


So you've found the proof why
Your cancer rate's shot up
But whatcha gonna do
When we've got all the cards?


Times Beach, Rocky Flats,
Love Canal and Bhopal
Merry Christmas, hostages
From the folks that care


Cesspools in Eden
Oozing away
Cesspools in Eden
Leak by the day
Cesspools in Eden
Have a nice day.
