If it were up to me I would
Pour concrete over grass
And dye into dark brown
Every blue water
I'd find a way to pierce
The thin layer of ozone
And then I would protect the Earth
With a plastic bag
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
The midnight is coming
There's no peace and quiet
If it were up to me I would
Cut down all the forests
And I'd put up as decoration
Tractor tyres
I would use acid
To irrigate the soil
And children would get
X-rayed every day
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
If it were up to me, in the city centre
I'd fire up a cauldron
I'd make everybody eat, of course
An invariable lunch
On public holidays I'd affix
Laurels to my head
And to the people I would deliver
The following speech:
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete is what we need
Because in the grass dangerously
A vicious snake is lurking
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete is what we need
Because in the grass nonchalantly
A vicious snake is lurking
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
Concrete, concrete, only concrete
