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 !@$^
With !@$) 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
