Lyrics Scars - Flotsam & Jetsam

Scars

Stare up into the sky, who’s in charge
Will it matter which bills are paid when she decides to do us harm
Forces of nature destiny control
Even the rich can’t buy their lives
When death becomes her toll
No conscience no love a heartless dare
No matter where you hide she’s there
Rape the land, bite the hand that feeds you
One day gonna take it away
Feel the chill from her icy stare
No self control, it will take its toll
The life we’re living here
Scars on her face, filth in her hair, pollution in her eyes
We kill the creature she creates
Then we wonder why she cries
Scars on her face, filth in her hair, pollution in her eyes
We kill the creatures she creates
Then we wonder why she cries
With the power she possesses, wipe clean the slate again
Mass operation or daddy’s cash
It just won’t matter who’s your friend
No conscience no love a heartless dare
No matter where you hide she’s there
Rape the land, bite the hand that feeds you
One day gonna take it away
Feel the chill from her icy stare
No self control, it will take its toll
The life we’re living here
Scars on her face, filth in her hair, pollution in her eyes
We kill the creature she creates
Then we wonder why she cries
Scars on her face, filth in her hair, pollution in her eyes
We kill the creatures she creates
Then we wonder why she cries
Written in the studio, it took three days to write
and record.
Lyrics came to mind during an Arizona
lightning storm.
Trash the place!
