Leave Them a Flower

I speak on behalf of the next generation.
Our sons and our daughters, their children to come.
What will we leave them for their recreation.
An oil slick, a pilot, an industrial slum.
Leave Them a flower some grass and a hedge row.
A hill and a valley and a view to the sea
These things are not ours to destroy as we want to
A gift given once for etirnaty (etirnaty)
We plunder we pillage we tare and we tunnel
Trees lying toppled, they finger the sky
Building a land for machines and computers
In the name of progress the farms have to die
Leave Them a flower some grass and a hedge row
A hill and a valley and a view to the sea
These things are not ours to destroy as we want to
A gift given once for etirnaty (etirnaty)
Fish in the ocean polluted and poisoned
The sand on our beaches all stinking and black
We and our tankers, banks and investments
Say never worry the birds will come back
Leave Them a flower some grass and a hedge row
A hill and a valley and a view to the sea
These things are not ours to destroy as we want to
A gift given once for etirnaty
When the last flower has dropped its last petal
When the last concrete is finally made
The moon will shine cold
O're the nightmarish landscape
Our gift to our children
The world that we made
Leave Them a flower some grass and a hedge row
A hill and a valley and a view to the sea
These things are not ours to destroy as we want too
A gift given once for etirnaty
Etirnaty
Etirnaty
Etirnaty
Etirnaty
