What Have We Got

We’ve got a mountain on the horizon,

A sun on the floor,

The sea in the sky,

And the devil behind the door.

We’ve got a desert in a lake,

Islands in the city.

We’ve got the moon which is a fake,

And a bomb which is a pity.

We’ve got the stars when it’s light,

Silence when it’s not.

We’ve got friends, but they fight,

And what have we got?

We’ve got brother in the sky,

Sister in the sun.

Everybody’s getting high

Yet no one’s having fun.

We’ve got the rainfall,

We’ve got the snow.

Our sisters and brothers we call

And what do we know?

We’ve got a mountain on the horizon,

A sun on the floor,

The sea in the sky,

And the devil behind the door.
