Wrecking Our Planet

Bleach - disinfectant fly and hairsprays polish - air fresheners used everyday In our homes without a thought whilst the planet around us becomes out of control Smog from rush-hour traffic on the urban scene irritates the chest but then leave what you don't see Chlorine in the swimming baths our work's not done better change them to ultra violet Oil prices gone up while our fossils have gone down yet fumes burn off in furnaces straight into the clouds We're digging out gemstones creating deeper mines We've dug for years for coal and now hydraulic fracturing - we're fracking What of the gases that protect our Earth The holes just getting bigger yet we're not being heard We are opening Earth's crusts increasing vehicles on our roads using all our silver - using all our gold whilst the Earth dies screaming And meanwhile whilst we live in our ignorance Generations that follow will have health suffer in horrendous penitence
