Wild Side
Living on the wild side
Of man-made legislature
With a will of rhino hide
Defending laws of nature
From invasive species gaining
On a three-ring circus stage
In an age of lion-taming
Makes us monkeys in a cage
As we're sinking to extinction levels
Captives in a profit zoo
When grizzly bear essentials
Could replant the trees where once they grew
When green was life, and not its price
And Earth it had no cost
Her beauty would alone suffice
For all resources lost
Before we ravaged her chaste skies
And bled her dry of ****** lands
By forcing her to synthesize
Our selfish energy demands
Vicious avaricious rats
A mass consumption plague
Of king cobra bureaucrats
No drop of oil shame
Rising seas to meet their marks
Bottom-fed on dying reefs
Cold and lifeless, great white sharks
Their souls of coal lie deep beneath
Pearly, sparkling teeth of preachers
Sheep until their time is done
Show these puny, insect creatures
Powers of your chosen sun
