Mama Nature said
“It’s murder what you’ve done”
I sent you forth my brightest world
Now it’s nearly gone

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
