We drop a bomb here
we destroy a forest there
why should we even care.

We scar our precious lands
we blacken our waters
who cares about our sons and daughters.

Lets take what we can,     here it lies
and again mother earth cries.

We can build a dam there
we will drain this lake here
it's okay the animals have nothing to fear.

We cut through a mountain
we pave over a field
but it's okay the earth heals.

The *** of gold,     there it lies
and again mother earth cries.

We've hurt her so bad
we've really torn her down
and yet she let's us stay around.

She doesn't ask for much
all she can do is give and give
but the human race won't let her live.

Here's our lady,      we don't hear her cries
instead mother earth  slowly dies.

The man with the piercing eyes
The one that is oh so wise
The one that feels like he can criticize

The man with the heart melting looks
The one that is king of the rooks
The one that gets his strength from his books

The man with the exact right word
The one that thinks what you write is absurd
The one that doesn't listen to what he's heard

The man with the new and hot game
The one that I think is really looking for your shame
The one that I think doesn't think we're all the same

The man with the tower to look down
The one that has lowered my level to a frown
The one that makes you feel like he doesn't want you around

He has the word and he has the sound
But don't fall under his spell
He'll turn your head round and round
And leave you in a state of dwell
