We Kill the World (Don't Kill the World)

I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms. I see rockets, missiles in the sky. Day by day, more and more, Where will this lead to And what is this good for? Poor world, poor world. Concrete's rising up, Where yearerday was park You heard the robin's song Heavy tractor runs Where air was clean and cool Make money, bringing fuel. Where will this lead to And what is this good for? A poor world, poor world. Fishes doomed to die As people live close by And oaktree falls with moon Parking lots will come With flowerfields were bright As junkyard covers sight! Where will this lead to And what is this good for? Poor world, is hurting bad, Poor world, is doomed to die. We kill the world Kill the world We surely do In peace we do! We kill the world Kill the world 'Cause we don't know What we are doing! We kill it One by one Don't realize! And nuclear piles stand like monuments Of destruction throughout over the country Promenades must go So cars can drive in row New fact'ry towers tall Farmhouse had to fall No flowers in the air Pollution everywhere. Where will this lead to And what is this good for? A poor world, poor world. Oceans in despair There's rubbish everywhere The seaweed chokes in mud Nature's had her lot With nuclear waste and rot And mushrooms bloom as clouds. Where will this lead to And what is this good for? Poor world, is hurting bad, Poor world, is doomed to die. We kill the world... Don't kill the world Don't let her down. Do not destroy basic ground. Don't kill the world Our means of life. Lend ear to nature's cry. Don't kill the world She's all we have, And surely is worth to save. Don't let her die, Fight for her trees, Pollution robs air to breathe. Don't kill the world Help her survive And she'll reward you with life And don't just talk, Go on and do the one, who wins is you. Cherish the world, A present from god On behalf of all creatures, Made by the lord Care for the earth, Foundation of life Slow progress down help her survive --- We Kill the World (Don't Kill the World) - Boney M.
