This is another classic Thin Lizzy song and is of particular merit. |
|
A major proliferation of environmental songs began in the eighties |
|
and nineties by bands such as R.E.M. and the like. Thin Lizzy |
|
did this same thing almost twenty years earlier! |
|
Mama Nature said |
|
"It's murder what you've done" |
|
I sent you forth my brightest world |
|
Now it's nearly gone |
|
Thin Lizzy |
|
Birds and bees |
|
Been telling me |
|
You can't see |
|
The forest for the trees |
|
You cover up your lies |
|
With sympathies |
|
And I got no solutions |
|
To your persecution |
|
Mama Nature said |
|
"I can't believe it's true" |
|
I gave you life and food for thought |
|
Look what did you do |
|
You're killing my rivers |
|
Drowning my baby streams |
|
Day by day by day by day |
|
I hear them scream |
|
I'm so disillusioned |
|
I'm so disillusioned |
|
Mama Nature said |
|
"You're guilty of this crime" |
|
Now it's not just a matter of fact |
|
But just a matter of time |
|
Cruel will be the vengeance |
|
So savage is the deed that's done |
|
And I've got no solutions |
|
To your own pollutions |
