Earthsick Lyrics - They Sure Don't Make Basketball Shorts Like They Used To - Hoobastank

Rotate your point of view 

concrete surrounds you 

it used to be a field 

with a tree where we all played 

Suspend your disbelief 

this world became of age 

to the beautiful things 

that flourished in your day 

that's why i say... 

[chorus] 

stop, stop the world i said 

stop stop, stop the world 

because i wanna get off, wanna get off, wanna 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 insane 

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... 

[chorus] 

Stop, stop the world i said 

stop stop, stop the world 

because i wanna get off, wanna get off, wanna get off 

it's making me earthsick 

Rotate your point of view 

concrete surrounds you 

it used to be a field 

with a tree where we all played 

that's why i say... 

Substitute what is now 

for what had used to be 

old or new, everybody's got to pick 

it's making me insane 

[2x]
