Our Earth

In the beginning it was green and pure,

The Earth was in no need of a cure

But then we came, we saw, we conquered

We installed factories the size of Montford

We became these drillers and killers and loggers

We built cars and cities and river blockers

But here’s the real shocker

We sent the earth to Davy Jones’ locker

By polluting the air, water and soil

and taking coal and ore, and oil

just so we can pretend to live half royal

and have fancy things like aluminum foil.

I know a lot can change in 4 decades

But The Lorax is even more true today

Dr seuss got it right in '71

And since then we’ve done stuff that cant be undone

We have a problem that’s causing me pain

We are killing the earth and its death is in vein

From continuing to kill it we must refrain.

So please, oh please use your brain

the worlds a mess so lets get to moppin

I’d appreciate if your two cents were dropped in

start with the local organic croppin

stop with the rainforest trees a choppin

we only get one planet so we cant be swappin

hate to burst you bubble but ima keep on poppin

till the last bubble has been popped

I wont be stopped

We must adopt

This new mentality 
This is reality

I know of your vanity

But look out for humanity

Cuz your not the only fucking one

Please excuse the profanity

But this job must be done

and this job won’t be fun

from this job we cant run

This job, this job, this job…

It will require a little bit of sacrifice

We made mistakes now we must pay the price

I said it once don’t make me say it twice

We have obstacles like three blind mice

Tighten laws on all pollution

There is no short, simple solution

Its time to start the green revolution

So please make a contribution

Lets all push for recycling

Lets all push for more bike lanes

Lets all try to take short showers

Lets all vote for greener power

So now that we know what to do

We must keep on pushing and follow through

This is the time for the planet’s rebirth

Our land, our mother, our Earth.
