Ballad of Chico Mendes
Oh Chico
Married to the forest trees
And buried on a Christmas Eve
Oh Chico
How sad the man who gives his life
In order to protect his wife
They want to pave a highway though your town
And cut your bride, the mighty forest, down
Oh Chico
How sad the man who gives his life
In order to protect his wife
Oh Chico
Businessmen couldn't care
Their money won't clean up the air
They want their cows to graze on open land
Perhaps things work out different than they planned
Oh Chico
Businessmen couldn't care
Their money won't clean up the air
Oh Chico
What will it take to save the earth
Is what you paid what it's all worth
Your empate know even though you die
You're harvesting a forest in the sky
Oh Chico
What will it take to save the earth
Is what you paid what it's all worth
Oh Chico
Married to the forest trees
And buried on a Christmas Eve
If rubber trees are what men aim to kill
Your bride will rise again to claim Brazil
Oh Chico
Married to the forest trees
And buried on a Christmas Eve
Oh Chico
How sad the man who gives his life
In order to protect his wife
Married to the forest trees
And buried on a Christmas Eve
Oh Chico
How sad the man who gives his life
In order to protect his wife
They want to pave a highway though your town
And cut your bride, the mighty forest, down
Oh Chico
How sad the man who gives his life
In order to protect his wife
Oh Chico
Businessmen couldn't care
Their money won't clean up the air
They want their cows to graze on open land
Perhaps things work out different than they planned
Oh Chico
Businessmen couldn't care
Their money won't clean up the air
Oh Chico
What will it take to save the earth
Is what you paid what it's all worth
Your empate know even though you die
You're harvesting a forest in the sky
Oh Chico
What will it take to save the earth
Is what you paid what it's all worth
Oh Chico
Married to the forest trees
And buried on a Christmas Eve
If rubber trees are what men aim to kill
Your bride will rise again to claim Brazil
Oh Chico
Married to the forest trees
And buried on a Christmas Eve
Oh Chico
How sad the man who gives his life
In order to protect his wife
