Lyrics
Doodlebug, doodlebug, fly away, fly away home
Your House is on fire and the children will burn.
Doodlebug, doodlebug, fly away, fly away home
Your House is burning and the children are home.
Did you ever witness anything unkind?
Did you ever see your own child die?
Have you seen the pictures of a sky that’s blue?
Have you seen the gashes where the trees once grew?
Doodlebug, doodlebug fly away, fly away home, your House is on fire and the children will burn If we keep throwing stones at this glass house, the sky’s gonna fall and there’s no way out!
Have you heard about South Africa and racial war?
Do you remember Martin Luther and what He stood for?
You know we try to teach the children what’s right from wrong
Have you noticed that the rules are changed from home to home?
Doodlebug, doodlebug fly away, fly away home, your House is on fire and the children will burn If we keep throwing stones at this glass house, the sky’s gonna fall and there’s no way out!
Have you heard about the sewage floating in the bay? Then you’ve heard about the oil we’re Spilling everyday.
Have you heard about the hole we punched in the sky
You know it’s getting hot down here in paradise!
Doodlebug, doodlebug fly away, fly away home.
Your House is on fire and the children will burn. If we keep throwing stones at this Glass House, the sky’s gonna fall and there’s no way out!
Are we really as blind as we seem to be? Or is it just our suicidal tendencies?
Yeah, it’s just our suicidal tendencies
