about

Inspired by a Native American proverb; we really do need to look after this planet!

lyrics

Los Angeles buys a new juicer
Beijing a fridge and a car
There's a new runway much needed they say
'cause the people want to travel so far
They're cutting down the tropical forests
We all the need the oil of the palm
While fat politicians evade the debate
over whether there should be a wind farm

Chorus:
When the last lake is empty
and all the fish have gone
The last tree has fallen down
and industry has won
When all of this finally happens
and we're not safe inside our homes
When is man gonna realise
You can't live on money alone?

Another species nears extinction
we are all sitting watching TV
Making heroes out of arrogant fools
It all seems crazy to me
The scientists are getting excited
Playing God, becoming divine
and nature's getting less important each day
Well this is your nirvana, not mine.
