Mother Earth
Mother Earth
Would you burn the furniture in your home?
Would you rip the paintings from all your walls?
Would you destroy all your most valuable possessions?
Can I write some graffiti in your halls?
Do you mind if I come and empty your cabinets
Your food and water I’ll take all away
If I did to you as we all do to the earth
Than what do think you would say
Earth’s been around for a billion years
Growing and evolving each and every day
Man’s been here for what seems like seconds
And we’re ripping her life away
There is no doubt we’re on the way
Extinction the path we’re all taking
Nobody cares about their mother earth
If she had a heart I know it would be breaking
Keep cutting the trees who needs to recycle
Global warming oh that’s just a theory
Have we all gone crazy let’s open our eyes
Because the future really looks scary
They’re too many people we’re weighing her down
She’s taking her final breathe
And when she’s gone we won’t have to worry
To all of us it means our death
So do as you please it doesn’t really matter
We have already gone too far
We’re responsible for killing a planet
Maybe next we can shoot for the stars
