Death In The Wilderness
Death in the wilderness
It`s a hopeless case I guess
Who`s looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won`t be long
We`ll find the wilderness has died
We`ll be the lonely one
Concrete, plastic human throng
Tellin` one another have you heard the news
We`ll mow it down, we`ll rape the ground
`Til there`s nothing left to abuse
The rabbit, he`ll be gone
The bird will sing no song
The wolf, the bear, the lion too
The insect far and near, creatures like the deer
We`ll put in cages a the zoo
Death in the wilderness
It`s a hopeless case I guess
Who`s looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won`t be long
We`ll find the wilderness has died
The stream will all dry out
The fish, gone no doubt
We`ll have no animals to fear
The tree will be no more
We`ll use it to build the store
Mountain scene will disappear
These changes takin` place
Will affect the human race
We`ll all know it when it`s gone
God save this planet now
We`ve got to help somehow
We`ve left it happen way too long
Death in the wilderness
It`s a hopeless case I guess
Who`s looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won`t be long
We`ll find the wilderness has died
We`ll find the wilderness has died
Death In The Wilderness
Death in the wilderness
It`s a hopeless case I guess
Who`s looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won`t be long
We`ll find the wilderness has died
We`ll be the lonely one
Concrete, plastic human throng
Tellin` one another have you heard the news
We`ll mow it down, we`ll rape the ground
`Til there`s nothing left to abuse
