Mankind laughed and nature wept

Through alarm bells we have slept

We brought this upon ourselves

Pollution made the icecaps melt

We plundered forests for our need

When not at war we fuelled our greed

Looking out for the human race

We poisoned sea and cluttered space



With acid rain pouring from the sky

Land engulfed in the rising tide

No heed paid to this noble warning

The end result is a global warning



Summer gets hotter every year

In fifty more no tigers here

Houses slipping into the sea

Millions sinking in poverty

They drilled the mines before we were born

Turned our trees to stacks of porn

With fag butts all across the ground

No trees for hugging now



Many treaties that we broke

Morning air that makes us choke

We made money our deity

But caring for the planet was our responsibility

Nobody knows how high the price

To create some future paradise

It's your grandchild in an oxygen mask

Staring out the window at the back of the class
