Questions - Bobby Darin

How do you kill a mountain

How do you make it fall

Well you chip away

Every day

And soon the clay

Will fade away

And the hole you’ve dug

In the dream you hug

Will be like a bug

In your ear

Can’t you hear

How do you kill the sunshine

How do you turn it out

Well you close your eyes

To the cries

And the lies

In the law’s disguise

And the light will fade

In the evenin' shade

Which is only made

By the sun

Are you dumb

How do you kill the ocean

How do you make it dry

Well you first dilute

Then pollute

Cut the fruit

At the root

And the ocean’s floor

Will be like a whore

Who will lie no more

'cause she’s dead

Use your head

How do you kill the country

How does she disappear

Well you trade your tent

In for rent

That will be spent

On poured cement

And the things that grew

When the earth was new

Which have nurtured you

Will be gone

Blow your horn

How do you kill an idea?
