Whenever my head starts to hurt
Before it goes from bad to feeling worse
I turn off my phone, I get down low
And put my hands in the dirt
I try to stop the world from moving so fast
Try to get a grip on where I'm at
And simplify this dizzy life
And put my feet in the grass
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to work
I'm going back to the earth
Ooh yeah
Well the only explanation for a high rise
Must mean that everybody wants to get high
And move on up to a deluxe
Apartment in the sky
Well the higher we go, the taller we grow
We lose sight of the land below
Well you can have your places in outer space
'Cause my home is where my food is grown
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to work
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to work
I'm going back to the earth
We are animals (We are animals)
We are wild (We are wild)
Well we started with the motion at the bottom of the ocean
Now we're swinging from the tops of the trees
We are animals (We are animals)
We are wild (We are wild)
And to truly be forgiven we must all get back to living
With the land in harmony
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to the earth
I'm going back to work
I'm going back to the earth
Keep that going, yeah
Two more times around
So one more time around the world
