We've got to save the world |
|
Someone else may want to use it |
|
So far we've seen |
|
This planet's rape, how we've abused it |
|
We've got to save the world |
|
The russians have the biggest share |
|
With their long fingers everywhere |
|
And now they've bombs in outer space |
|
With laser beams and atomic waste |
|
Rain forest chopped for paper towels |
|
One acre gone in every hour* |
|
Our birds and wildlife all destroyed |
|
To keep some millionaires employed |
|
We've got to save the whale |
|
Greenpeace they've tried to diffuse it |
|
But dog food salesmen |
|
Persist on kindly to harpoon it |
|
We've got to save the world |
|
The armament consortium |
|
They're selling us plutonium |
|
Now you can make your own h-bomb |
|
Right in the kitchen with your mom |
|
The nuclear power that costs you more |
|
Than anything you've known before |
|
The half-wit's answer to a need |
|
For cancer, death, destruction, greed |
|
We've got to save the world |
|
Someone's children they may need it |
|
So far we've seen |
|
The big business of extinction bleed it |
|
We've got to save the world |
|
We're at the mercy of so few |
|
With evil hearts determined to |
|
Reduce this planet into hell |
|
Then find a buyer and make quick sale |
|
To end upon a happy note |
|
Like trying to make concrete float |
|
Is very simple knowing that |
|
God in your heart lives |
|
We've got to save the world |
|
Someone else may want to use it |
|
It's time you knew |
|
How close we've come |
|
We're gonna lose it - we gotta save, we gotta save |
|
We gotta save the world |
