Jimmy Davis - Mother Earth lyrics
Your rating:
Existing on this planet; terror, fear and panic Our destiny tragic and concern merely sporadic The truth is problematic, they wanna see it in a different light so they go and paint it metallic Some stay penned in and static Others just blend in life automatic Move with the traffic, they're packaged and in a packet They're managed and in a bracket They ravage, damage and hammer it If they want it they're having it Their relentless persistence is nothing but pneumatic Beat mother nature to death with fucking black and blue magic Whose planet is this? We'll take what we wanna use damn it! But the response is volcanic and so emphatic Leave a nasty taste in the deepest part of their souls pallet Imprinted onto the mind of a child in bold italics This is revolution antithesis of controlling masses They can't see it, can't ever free it All the pain she feels inside They don't know it, never gonna show it All the time she fights to survive Not with it, couldn't ever give it Time of day to justify They don't want it, never confront it Until there's no more time So mans greatest invention Soon to be the ladies biggest killer we pray for intervention So ironic like banks going bankrupt And yanks funding the people that are now blowing their tanks up Financial institutions given government money Let the taxpayer foot the bill until they recover fully Let politicians run up expenses The working class on the frontline can feel how deep the trench is Fifty percent payrise in two years for GP's And turn local surgeries into fewer PCC's Invest the money in training man then maybe he Could notice the brutality they inflicted on baby P And Zimbabwe the definition of catastrophe 22 pence a government doctors monthly salary I call it crimes against humanity But people are cracking on and showing a disgusting amount of apathy They can't see it, can't ever free it All the pain she feels inside They don't know it, never gonna show it All the time she fights to survive Not with it, couldn't ever give it Time of day to justify They don't want it, never confront it Until there's no more time They nationalise banks and fucking building societies But where's my dividends and percentage of the proprietary Se that there is tax payers wonga The same shit they used for supporting a war monger The same shit they used or arming Iraq And the same shit that funded offensives to go and take it back Man they really think we're that stupid I wonder how many people in Abu Ghraib were fucking executed People disgusted at the news reports and seeing war But chastise immigrants when all they're doing is fleeing war We see it more and more, the former Yugoslavia, Somalia But you're stuck in the chronicles of Narnia A commercial market fantasy bubble And don't understand that your soul is understandably troubled We all have an individual destiny But the fate of the planet lies with everybody collectively
