Modern life is killing me Yawn, yawn, block out the TV Pictures of bears, wales and lion Dial the number, save the newest extinction Money wanted for the latest charity Save the children, comes the plea
It’s all too much for the heart to take So it’s numbed in ice, to prevent the break I am now part of the world’s population Where denial is guaranteed self-preservation But here we go with another newsbreak Money needed after a recent earthquake
So I will travel upon my merry way Living in ignorance every day Paddle in an ocean where plastic rules Ignoring the singing of dolphin blues Don’t want to hear about what’s at stake I can’t make a change, put in the firebreak
But to the next generation, what can be said? When they look at oceans a long time dead And a lion’s roar can only be seen In a cartoon film shown on the big screen The only animals in the world are biped Trying to survive on this floating sickbed
I am not one to name and shame Or make judgement, place the blame But don’t want to leave the world as I found it Hand it on, like it’s a gambit So I will make one change, I hereby claim I leave it up to you to do the same
