There is nothing that grows in your arctic world
(intro)
I don’t want to breathe that Smithsonian air
I don’ want to listen when they toll the bell
‘cos I can’t take another industrial feast
on the ground, on my back, out there
I want to meet the president
of a country without sense
There is nothing that grows in his arctic world
there is nothing that grows in your arctic world
there is nothing that grows in this arctic world
End
p.s. here is the way I play the intro bit:
