The High Command
as our planet is getting close to hitting back
and the streets are full of folk on crack
her seas rise and her land is splitting
still most are at home praying and knitting
its getting colder as every winter passes
and when summer comes we turn to ashes
we say ok it will pass in time its no big deal
as the high Command dips your pockets and steals
every one has a box in their front room
which they stare at day night and noon
getting lessons from the folk who say
don't worrie now its gonna be ok
and they sit in their bullet proof cars
munching on thousand dollar cigars
taking all our given rights
and we don't even put up a fight
so the day will come when the planet says thats enough
im not taking any more of this abuse and stuff
it will show us all how small we are
from the fish in the sea to the folks from afar
but will they hide and hope for the best
when mother earth puts us to the test
and if they sneak their way on through
ill tell you something it wont be me or you
