Can We Have Our Ball Back

Almighty God, I guess you must see man as a disease This bright blue orb that we call home must cause you much unease No government is ever gonna listen to our pleas Their taxes will not save us… can we have our ball back please We drive our cars and fly in planes for holidays on skis And now they tell us that we’ve brought our planet to its knees We’re told that we will drown or burn though some of us will freeze Which seems a tad dramatic… can we have our ball back please The scientists keep saying we eat too much meat and cheese They tell us we can all survive on lentils, beans and peas Which won’t achieve too much because not everyone agrees And so I have to ask you, can we have our ball back please Another storm has ripped up houses, bridges, cars and trees The sewers overflowed into the rivers and the seas But now we’re in a heatwave and it’s thirty-five degrees It’s really rather hot so can we have our ball back please Whatever’s wrong with planet Earth is killing bugs and bees Perhaps we should get all our products made by the Chinese To save the world we’re armpit deep in net zero decrees But only you can save us… can we have our ball back please
