They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop
Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop
Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
Well I went down the coast but there's no coral reef
'Cause Adani stole the coal so all the corals bleached
So I went to the city but I don't wanna breath
Cause the smog in the air just makes me cough and wheeze
Going stir crazy like Milo, high as trees until it drops me
Thought I had depression but I just needed a coffee
And the Amazon's dying but we got Amazon Prime
Too busy to be angry so they carry on lying
Well there's a plastic island in our ocean that I heard about
We got to turn around this shit before it burns us out
We focus on our differences but we should kill the billionaires
Invest in local businesses, grow potatoes, spinachs
Might need my head checked, might need McAfee
I grew up on some poison, they called it McHappy
I guess you don't know what you got till it's packing
And it speeds down the road in a big yellow taxi
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?
They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
(Oooo-bop-bop-bop)
