You’ll miss me when I’m gone
When the air burns in your eyes
You’ll miss me when I’m gone
When your smog pollutes my skies

You’re choking on the air you breathe
And choose to jus’ let it ride

It won’t be long
Before I’m gone

You’ll miss me when I’m gone
When it’s all out of the ground
You’ll miss me when I’m gone
When no more can be found

You didn’t heed my warnings
When I cried acid rain

It won’t be long, now
Until I’m gone

Do you remember dancing
So that I would make it rain?
Or picking grapes off of my vines?

Every kind of wildlife
Jus’ grazing on my plains
The fragrant scent of mountain pines?

I gave you everything
You needed to survive
But you take more than I can give

I struggle daily just to keep myself alive
You got to change if you wanna live

You’ll miss me when I’m gone
It’s getting warmer everyday
You’ll miss me when I’m gone
When my glaciers melt away

You’re whistling past the graveyard
Just living for today
It won’t be long
You’ll miss me when I’m gone
