One can only count on themselves I had a friend who told me We were hurting our mother I soon realized that a mother never fails you It just loses control of you Now I am looking for my brother In a burning ****** forest The fiery leaves have turned cold ash They would have been golden and red Yellow and black perfect for the slashing I cannot believe there was an early funeral for the forest And we burned our friend to a crisp Laying our possibilities to waste By searching for tastier plausible solutions To run our automobiles And the high flying businessman Make the most out of greed As we lose hope and face despair The corporation aren't playing it fair This is no longer a children's game People have given up on their children's children Streams of contamination are all we have in this prairie
