Mother Earth

Oh man what are you doing? To our lovely Mother Earth Polluting her streams and rivers Giving green technology a wide berth Spraying our crops with cancer causing Chemicals to make them grow Then we turn around and say We must find a cure don’t you know Then we must eat organic I tell you there’s no such thing Because our rain is full of toxins That to the Earth doth bring Our lush green grass is watered By this chemical cocktail Our animals they then eat it And are contaminated head to tail It’s too late now for organic The damage it is done The Ozone is depleted Leaving us vulnerable to the Sun But we must try to stall it This path to certain death And take care of our Planet Our lovely Mother Earth
