It used to be a field with the tree
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, yeah
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 won't need
That's why I plead

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, yeah
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me earthsick

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

Rotate your point of view
Concrete surrounds you
It used to be a field with the tree
Where we all played
That's why I say

Substitute what is now for what had used to be, yeah
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me earthsick
Substitute what is now for what had used to be, yeah
Old or new, everybody's got to pick
It's making me earthsick
