"MOTHER NATURE'S SCREAMING"

FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS NOW.MANKIND HAS BEEN RIPPING FROM ON TOP, AND FROM WITHIN MOTHER EARTH,AND GIVING NOTHING BACK.MAYBE SOME OF THE THINGS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD ,TELL US THAT MOTHER NATURE MAY HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH.HERE IS MY SONG.

CH.
I HEAR MOTHER NATURE SCREAMING
"HELP,I'VE HAD ENOUGH.
YOU'VE RAPED AND SPOILED AND PILLAGED
NOW I'M GOING TO GET TOUGH.
I HELPED,WHILE YOU WERE GOOD TO ME
BUT YOU'VE TAKEN ALL I HAD
AND THE ONLY THINGS YOU'VE GIVEN BACK
HAVE SENT THE ACRES BAD"
1)
WELL I GUESS WE SHOULDN'T BLAME HER,
AS CHILDREN,WE'RE NOT GOOD.
WE HAVN'T DONE AS WE'VE BEEN TOLD
THOUGH WE KNOW WE SHOULD.
SHE GAVE US AIR THAT WE COULD BREATHE
GOOD LAND THAT WE COULD TILL
BUT WE POISONED EVERYTHING SHE GAVE
AND THE RIVERS ALL RUN STILL
CH.
2)
TWENTIETH CENTURY,MEACHANICAL MAN
WE STRIPPED HER BARE TO SWELTER.
FOR SHE HAD ALWAYS BEEN SO STRONG,
GAVE OUR FATHERS- FOOD AND SHELTER.
SHE'S BEEN HERE SINCE GODS CREATION
A MILLION ZILLION YEARS
BUT ITS ONLY SINCE WE MODERN MAN,
WE'VE HEARD OUR MOTHERS TEARS
CH.
3)
"IS IT TOO LATE,ARE WE FINISHED?"
AT LAST THE PEOPLE CRY.
"WE'RE SORRY MOTHER,FOR WHAT WE'VE DONE,
CAN WE MAKE IT BETTER IF WE TRY?"
WE'VE GOT TO LISTEN TO MOTHER NATURE
FOR,NO FUTURE IS OUR CHOICE.
BUT THINGS ARE NEVER GOING TO CHANGE,
TILL WE'RE SCREAMING WITH ONE VOICE.
CH
WE HEAR MOTHER NATURE SCREAMING
HELP WE'VE HAD ENOUGH.
WE'VE RAPED AND SPOILED AND PILLAGED
WE'RE NOT SUPRISED YOU'RE GETTING TOUGH
YOU HELPED WHILE WE WERE GOOD TO THEE,
BUT WE'VE TAKEN ALL YOU HAD.
AND THE ONLY THINGS WE'VE GIVEN BACK
HAVE SENT YOUR ACRES BAD. SORRY--SORRY--SORRY
