Earthsick Lyrics

Rotate your point of view
Concrete surrounds you
It used to be a field where we all played
Suspend your disbelief
This world became a thief
To the beautiful things that flourished in your day
That's why I say
Stop, stop the world I said
Stop, stop, stop the world
Because I want to get off
Want to get off
Want to get off
It's making me earthsick
Substitute what is now for what had used to be
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me earthsick
My head keeps spinning
Progress is winning
I don't recognize the place where I grew up
This is no fantasy
The ground beneath your feet
Will soon be a store with things that you don't need
That's why I plead

Me thinks that this song is about how modern life is consuming nature and soon there will be no trees or greenery at all left. How sad!

"That is the name of the band, folks, Hoobastank. Get over it; I did." That has to be my favourite bit of this song. I have to say, I prefer "...Basketball Shorts..." to their new album. I think it's the sax that does it for me! lol ;)

It's not called "...basketball shorts..." It's "The Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To".

I'm lazy. I couldn't be bothered typing the whole title out.

My favourite song off "They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To". I agree with Harry in that its about how the natural things in life are being detroyed by man made stuff. If you like the sax player off Basketball, then listen to "Summer Romance" by Incubus, thats him as well :)
