             G
Whenever my head starts to hurt
                     D
Before it goes from bad to feeling worse
                C
I turn off my phone, I get down low
            G
And put my hand into the dirt

I try to stop the world from moving so fast
Try and get a grip on where I'm at
To simplify this dizzy life
And get my feet in the grass

Chorus:
           G
I'm going back to the earth
           D
I'm going back to the earth
           C
I'm going back to work
           G
I'm going back to the earth

The only explanation for a high rise
Must be that everybody wants to get it high
And Move on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky
Well, The higher we go, the taller we grow old
We lose sight of our land below
You can have your place up in outer space
Cause my home is where my food is grown

Chorus:
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

       Em
We are animals
        G
We are wild
     C
We started with
a motion at the bottom of the ocean
         D                             Bm
now its ringing from the tops of the trees

       Em
We are animals (we are animals)
        A
We are wild (we are wild)
         C
And to truly be forgiven
we must all get back to living
          D
With the land in harmony

Chorus:
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

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
I'm going Back!
