(Who Cares Part IV)
|
To keep our wealth growing we need more industry | Production is a major part of our economy Don't worry about waste, it brings additional jobs And anyway, the stocks climb to fantastic tops
Who cares about the threatened nature? |
Green hell - a paradise untouched | Wide river - tree giants on the shore Strange birds who loved their trees so much This place had seen no man before Warm rain came down on every day Made nature shine the brightest way Surroundings for the birds to play This climate made the rivers flow Flowers and trees would always flow And the rainbow said hello But then came men with strange ideas Began to set the land on fire Speeches would destroy all fears People's wealth will soon be higher The fires paint the sky blood-red But the money they will get Makes their hearts feel no regrets So in the end where tree trunks ly With no more rain the county's dry And the rainbow says goodbye The rainbow says goodbye... where has it gone... no more rain... no more life... desert moves on... a new city... more pollution... where is nature... the rainbow Only when the last tree has been felled The last fish caught The last river poisoned We know that man cannot eat money There's a lot of truth in this Although the white man refused to believe What's the value of Indian wisdom Against modern economical development? Environment is a discussion topic in the old industrial nations But the third world is happy about every job They don't mind about trees in areas that are impossible to enter Without economical value And - we didn't burn down the whole rainforest There's still more than enough left of it But you must understand that we couldn't build our factory near the coast The area is too overcrowded with other industry Call the rainbow back... stop the destruction... let the forests survive... drive the desert back... where's the green hell... the birds... the trees... the rain... the swamps... the rainbow When lack of rain made counties dry And the rainbow said goodbye Hope remained that time passed by This hope was lost as deserts grew And also rainbow's brilliant view Economy cannot renew part 1 part 2 part 3 part 5 part 6 part 7 part 8 back to the bandpage zur�ck zur Bandseite | ||
