lyrics

Goodbye, sweet honey. Farewell to the bees.
I've not tasted cherries since I was sixteen.

We've poisoned the oceans and strangled the seas
With flotillas of plastic to pay for our greed.

So can't we take more care?
This land's not yours to own.
Long after you are gone
It might still be someone's home.

Even before written stories began,
Men massacred mega fauna in every land.
We've said our adieus to all the great apes.
The pangolin poachers let nothing escape.

So can't we take more care?
This land's not yours to own.
Long after you are gone
It might still be someone's home.

Now Mother Earth chokes on the smothering fumes
As fossil fueled factories exhale deadly plumes.
And the forests we've murdered so that business could thrive
Were the lungs Gaia needed to keep us alive.

So can't we take more care?
This land's not yours to own.
Long after you are gone
It might still be someone's home.
