And when man gained dominion

Over land and the oceans

He began to harm the planet

With his asphalt and his toxins

And to lay the forest bare

And to poison even the air

And he killed every beast

And taught the seas how to bleed

Burned by the fire we make,

What a shame

Then the winds gave in

And the rain knew no season

And the sun came to beat

On a land of sand and diseases

And when god looked down

On the earth and saw it was broken

Then the tears of god fell down

Through a hole in the ozone

Burned by the fire we make

What a shame

This is the nature of the human race

To kill off anything that gets in our way

Poor mother earth we disfigured her face

Man is the maker of his own disgrace

Burned by the fire we make

What a shame
