Burning Down the Amazon
They say into each life
A little rain must fall
For 40 days and nights
It fell upon us all
But now it seems just like
Only some of us can see
That they're burning down the Amazon
And doing the same to you and me
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
For all to see
The lungs of the world are on fire
Consumed by human desire
A common working man
Is all I'll ever be
The corporation's plan
Doesn't care about a tree
They treat us both just like
We're a cheap commodity
So they're burning down the Amazon
And doing the same to you and me
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
The lungs of the world are on fire
Consumed by human desire
The lungs of the world are on fire
Consumed by human desire
A little rain must fall
For 40 days and nights
It fell upon us all
But now it seems just like
Only some of us can see
That they're burning down the Amazon
And doing the same to you and me
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
For all to see
The lungs of the world are on fire
Consumed by human desire
A common working man
Is all I'll ever be
The corporation's plan
Doesn't care about a tree
They treat us both just like
We're a cheap commodity
So they're burning down the Amazon
And doing the same to you and me
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
Burning down the Amazon
The lungs of the world are on fire
Consumed by human desire
The lungs of the world are on fire
Consumed by human desire
