MOTHER EARTH CRIES

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.
