Plush, green forests, never touched by man
No longer do they escape his hand
They breathe the smog we like to make
They don’t get to eat or have the cake
We’re having so much fun
Cars and trains on the run
Plastic grocery bags in every landfill
Polluted water breathed through every gill
Don’t irrigate the dry, dusty land
Let it become desert wasteland
Lodes of fossil fuels — under the gun
(Don’t use solar power — why use the sun?)
Let’s get smart — use nuclear power instead
Let the radiation leave all of us dead
Is there a solution? I don’t really know
But please try a little, don’t let it go
There may not be an Earth, tomorrow.
