Kiss Mother Nature Goodbye
The oil tankers poisoned the oceans
Bulldozers ravaged the land
We've taken from sweet mother nature
Just about all she can stand
She just keeps holdin' our hand
There's a big tractor loose in the forest
Ripping the trees from the earth
Those redwoods are falling to progress
But a few roots still grip the earth
How much is that timber worth?
Well, it's time to start askin' some questions
Like, how long can we hold our breath
The smoke from those big city factories
Is chokin' this country to death
I don't claim to have all the answers
But how long can the truth be denied
If we don't get our act together
And start lookin' for ways to survive
We can kiss mother nature goodbye
Now there's still some fish in the river
And young eagles learning to fly
The hope of the next generation
Is soaring up there in the sky
But I'm afraid I can read his mind
Well, it's time to start askin' some questions
Like, how long can we hold our breath
The smoke from those big city factories
Is chokin' this country to death
Though, I don't claim to have all the answers
But how long can the truth be denied
If we don't get our act together
Start lookin' for ways to survive
Well, we can kiss mother nature goodbye
Now, I don't claim to have all the answers
But how long can the truth be denied
If we don't get our act together
And start lookin' for ways to survive
Well, we can kiss mother nature goodbye
Bulldozers ravaged the land
We've taken from sweet mother nature
Just about all she can stand
She just keeps holdin' our hand
There's a big tractor loose in the forest
Ripping the trees from the earth
Those redwoods are falling to progress
But a few roots still grip the earth
How much is that timber worth?
Well, it's time to start askin' some questions
Like, how long can we hold our breath
The smoke from those big city factories
Is chokin' this country to death
I don't claim to have all the answers
But how long can the truth be denied
If we don't get our act together
And start lookin' for ways to survive
We can kiss mother nature goodbye
Now there's still some fish in the river
And young eagles learning to fly
The hope of the next generation
Is soaring up there in the sky
But I'm afraid I can read his mind
Well, it's time to start askin' some questions
Like, how long can we hold our breath
The smoke from those big city factories
Is chokin' this country to death
Though, I don't claim to have all the answers
But how long can the truth be denied
If we don't get our act together
Start lookin' for ways to survive
Well, we can kiss mother nature goodbye
Now, I don't claim to have all the answers
But how long can the truth be denied
If we don't get our act together
And start lookin' for ways to survive
Well, we can kiss mother nature goodbye
