lyrics

You’re on the street and someone steps on your toe
You think it’s nothing but you really don’t know
It’s warning, it’s warning

You keep on moving just as fast as you like
You cross the curb and then you sidestep a bike
It’s warning, it’s warning

The little signs are there for each one to read
But they get bigger with each one you don’t heed
You’re moving fast enough you outrun your luck
You miss the bike but you get hit by a truck

You’re late for work and so you just grab a roll
It hurts your throat because you swallow it whole
It’s warning, it’s warning

Here comes your lunch break and you gobble a slice
‘Round two o’clock your gut’s not feeling so nice
It’s warning, it’s warning

Your TV dinner it goes down with the news
It’s not the best thing you could possibly choose
All night you toss and turn your tummy won’t rest
You gotta run so now you got indigestion

They build a fence around the lot down your street
There’s lots of tractors and the kids think it’s neat
It’s warning, it’s warning

They put up signs they got a skull and crossbones
You’re kinda puzzled but you leave it alone
It’s warning, it’s warning

You coulda stopped them but by now it’s too late
They dig in deeper with each day that you wait
And pretty soon you’ll say you don’t find it hard
To eat the poisons growing up in your yard
