Lyrics |
Hot winds and hunger cries-- Ethiopia Flies in your babies' eyes-- Ethiopia Walking sticks on burning plains Betrayed by politics Abandoned by the rains On and on--the human need On and on--the human greed profanes Ethiopia-- Ethiopia-- Ethiopia Your top soil flies away-- Ethiopia We pump ours full of poison spray-- Ethiopia Between the brown skies and sprinkling lawns I hear the whine of chain saws Hacking rain forests down On and on--insanities On and on-- Short sighted greed abounds Ethiopia-- Ethiopia-- Ethiopia Little garden planet-oasis in space Some hearts hurt--they can hardly stand it Famine phantoms at the garden gates Ethiopia-- Ethiopia-- Ethiopia Every Sunday on T.V.-- Ethiopia You suffer with such dignity-- Ethiopia A T.V. star with a P.R. smile Calls your baby "it" while strolling Through your tragic trials On and on--stupidity On and on--the basic needs are defiled Good air--good water--good earth Ethiopia-- Ethiopia-- Ethiopia Little garden planet--oasis in space Some hearts hurt--they can hardly stand the waste Ethiopia-- Ethiopia-- Ethiopia © 1985 Crazy Crow Music BMI
