Lyrics
Seems to me the best thing to do, is to just taste the honey,
Treat Mother Earth with greater respect, forget all about the money.
It may come, but quicker it goes, just slips right through your fingers,
Honey's sweet, but greed is just bitter, and the bad taste only lingers.
Seems to me the right thing to do, is to protect and love your Mother,
The rivers and seas, the blood of her veins, flow in you and me and bond each other.
Just like an image from an old picture book, beauty of the paradise we all share,
Will just become a memory, as we struggle to breath in the foul air.
Your system is flawed, your morals are shot,
I don't want any part of the thing that you have got.
Your heart is hard, your illusion is strong,
What will it take to prove to you?... You've got it all wrong.
Out on the street a groundswell of care, looks like the kids have the solution,
We need the trees, we need the clean air, we need a natural revolution.
This Earth ain't a business, a thing to exploit, abused by the selfish and the greedy,
Take what you need, co's everything's there, and the rest to the poor and to the needy.
Your system is flawed, your morals are shot,
I don't want any part of the thing that you have got.
Your heart is hard, your illusion is strong,
What will it take to prove to you?... You've got it all wrong.
I'm all in favour of a simpler, more natural way of life...if only the powers-that-be would allow that to happen. Great song, strong message & well written. I hope things aren't too far out of control for people to hear your message. You are right...greed and self-interest are great destroyers.
