[Verse 1]

The cats are in the flower bed, a red hawk rides the sky

I guess I should be happy just to be alive

But we have poisoned everything and oblivious to it all

The cell phone zombies babble through the shopping malls

[Chorus 1]

While condors fall from Indian skies

Whales beach and die in sand

Bad dreams are good

In the great plan

[Verse 2]

You cannot be trusted, do you even know you're lying?

It's dangerous to kid yourself, you go deaf and dumb and blind

You take with such entitlement, you give bad attitude

You have no grace, no empathy, no gratitude

[Chorus 2]

You have no sense of consequence

Oh, my head is in my hands

Bad dreams are good

In the great plan

[Bridge]

Before that altering apple, we were one with everything

No sense of self and other, no self-consciousness

But now we have to grapple with our man-made world backfiring

Keeping one eye on our brother's deadly selfishness

[Verse 3]

Everyone's a victim, nobody's hands are clean

There's so very little left of wild Eden Earth so near the jaws of our machines

We live in these electric scabs, these lesions once were lakes

No one knows how to shoulder the blame or learn from past mistakes

[Chorus 3]

So who will come to save the day?

Mighty Mouse, Superman?

Bad dreams are good

In the great plan
