With a breaking heart, I peruse the scene, Of our beautiful Planet,that once was green And on my face,appears a frown, Because everything is turning brown
The Smooth Ape has been at work, Playing his deadly role, Turning this magic Earth that we share, Into a lifeless black hole
"You exaggerate,you exaggerate, That's just a pack of lies", But it's facts that we're dealing with here,my friend, And many are becoming wise,
To the simple fact that if we don't stop right now, Our reckless and murderous deeds Humanity will soon be a memory, And our legacy,glowing weeds
The Depleted Uranium in America's bombs, Has a half life of 4 billion years, We drop it on our very own troops Who get a lifelong destiny of pain and tears
Agent Orange,that deadly dust Rained down on Viet Nam, And to this day,it's still reaping it's harvest, Time -release poison from an American bomb
They strip mine the oceans, And level the forests, Like we've got a spare somewhere Many of us can just stare in amazement It seems that only the powerless care
Greedy corporations are destroying the Earth They're like Pak Man,only much worse The only criteria that they employ, Is if they can fatten their purse
Where did these guys come from? They must be Aliens from outer space Who've come to plunder our precious Planet, And destroy the Human race
We've got to take our hats off They're so effective in their quest Because when it comes to destroying all forms of life These guys are the very best- Serial killers, destroying our planet They set our Earth on fire,And then they fan it
They've got to be Aliens Nothing else make sense Who would destroy their own life support system No one could be that dense
We're all swimming in a sea of insanity, And for most,the result is pain The world's in the hands of psychopaths, Who only care for material gain
But it's not agony for everyone Our system serves those at the top And America's becoming a Fascist Empire The world's bully and cop
We claim that this is a Democracy That's what our misleaders say, But we really live in a two- tiered system The Predators,and their Prey
If "Pretty is as pretty does", They're as ugly as it gets And the suffering of people all over the world Is due to their reckless bets
Our government is really a casino, And a house of ill repute Where the taxpayers money is bet recklessly, If only we could give them the boot
That,of course would be difficult They make the voting machines Whose results can be flipped in a heartbeat And they have,and it's more than obscene
The reason that our government resembles a Whorehouse Here in the Land of Milk and Honey, Is that most politicians sell their votes to the wealthy, Their primary focus being power and money
To many of us, it's surpassingly queer That our elected representatives can look in the mirror- They must see the destruction that they cause Placing our futures in corporate claws
Sadly the people are apathetic, and ignorant of the corporations misdeeds That are destroying this magical planet we share Getting rich while Mother Earth bleeds
The reason that our citizens don't know the truth, Is that Big Media is owned by their corporate masters, and it's in the interest of the perps, to keep in the dark, Their endless litany of ecological disasters
Good Luck to all of us, and we need it Because our lives are in the hands of the Fools Whose lust for wealth is so pervasive That they see the World's people as tools,
To be used for one simple purpose, To be their servants and slaves Disposable units to be exploited and discarded, From their cradles to their graves
We'd better wake up if we'd like to survive Ignorance isn't bliss And If the lovers of life don't begin to care more, We can give our species ,a goodbye kiss-
BOOM!!!
