Save The Planet - - - - for the Earthday Comp
It’s all a lie, a big fuckin lie
Tell me you get that
Tell me you are to intelligent
To be fooled by this bullshit
Global warming
Global horseshit
The planet is perfectly fine
The planet will outlive man
The planet has been through
A lot worse than our puny
Efforts to try and destroy it
Mankind is at best a leech
Sucking blood from its victim
When it has gorged itself
It falls off and so will we
Maybe the plant will give
Us a gentle push into oblivion
Maybe sooner than you think
Maybe the planet will ear mark
Mankind for immediate extinction
Maybe. just maybe tomorrow
It’s all deliberate slide of hand
It’s all a clever misdirection
You spend your time demonstrating
And remonstrating with the powers
That be about the state of the planet
Whilst ignoring a child a minute
Dying in Africa from curable illnesses
Dying of starvation in 2015
When there is enough for all
We are wasting valuable time
On chanting a save the planet
Mantra that they want us to chant
Heaven forbid we actually try
To save or help another human being
Fuck saving the planet
Lets try saving each other
I am sure if we do that
Then the planet will no longer
Need us to save it
Tell me you get that
Tell me you are to intelligent
To be fooled by this bullshit
Global warming
Global horseshit
The planet is perfectly fine
The planet will outlive man
The planet has been through
A lot worse than our puny
Efforts to try and destroy it
Mankind is at best a leech
Sucking blood from its victim
When it has gorged itself
It falls off and so will we
Maybe the plant will give

Maybe sooner than you think
Maybe the planet will ear mark

Maybe. just maybe tomorrow
