Our Earth Was Once Green |
| Across the skies the monuments stand |
| Shrines of wonder, man worshipping man |
| Computer ethics mock a dying land |
| Down below like rats in a cage |
| Success, survival, two needles in hay |
| It’s Romans One facing satan’s stare |
| Pull down the forests we need more wood |
| Extend the grazing we need more food |
| Burning our bridges before the flood |
| Out on the oceans where it’s relatively safe |
| It’s not so easy being big as a whale |
| We’re all in a race on a bigger scale |
| Homosapien, I’ve had enough |
| Homosapien, I’m giving up |
| At best your wisdom’s a shot in the dark |
| So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich |
| Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex |
| Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life |
| It’s your choice |
| But mountains |
| Are holy places |
| And beauty is free |
| We can still walk |
| Through the garden |
| Our earth was once green |
