The times they are a-changing The land is growing pale There are far too many people and no fresh air to inhale But many do not know this, they live in a cocoon Unhealthy and unmotivated, they wallow in their doom And they think they don't harm you or me But they're wasting oxygen, a scarce commodity Just sit around wasting oxygen, they're miserable but free Some say you deserve pity, you're a victim not a cause Of the difficult socio-economic milieu and oppressive laws But who can make a judgment, at the risk of sounding brash You'd make the world a little better if you'd get up off your ass And I'm sorry if this may sound terse But you're wasting oxygen, you have no net worth Just sit around wasting oxygen, just take up room on Earth You're wasting oxygen Everybody's got to deal with scarcity There's just ain't enough to go around But your value doesn't out weigh your cost to the world But I know no one would cry if you were lost but never found You're wasting oxygen You're wasting oxygen You're wasting oxygen You're wasting oxygen A scarce commodity, you're wasting oxygen!
