Story Behind the Song
This song alludes to the rape of Mother Earth but with a bizarre twist. It is seen through the eyes of house guests who unintentionally destroy the structure, apologizing the whole time.
Lyrics
EARTH - I'm sorry dear lady, I apologize for my friends They didn't know what they were doing, they didn't mean any harm Just trying to make themselves at home... But I swear, they didn't mean any harm Oh I swear, they didn't mean any harm I believe the party's over I believe we've worn out our welcome And it's too bad we can't go home But where are we...where are we to go Oh no, no I don't know where are we to go? The carpet now is worn and torn the walls of wood that once stood tall have fallen and the guests who were here before us are gone, outcast, and poisoned and now it seems there's a hole up in the roof What can I say, what can I do? I'm sorry dear lady I believe the party's over I believe we've worn out our welcome and it's too bad we can't go home but where are we....where are we to go oh I don't know, no I don't know I'm sorry dear lady I apologize for myself I didn't know what I was doing but I swear, I didn't mean any harm
