The inconvienient truth
Oppression comes in many forms
to prick your conscience
to irritate that sore
the couch where easy intentions nest
fat cats with corporate excess
there gains in millions not in pence
shout at the telly, verncauler dispensed
blood pressure raise that brief moment
how would you react in that torment
when famine comes and drought is rife
will it dry your tounge so you cant shout
the banner or the sword
they cant fight adancing tides
guns cant stop pollutions rise
just one degree the tragedy
to shout abuse and dissafected sneer
for we are all but sufferajets
chained to a fence with deafness blessed
a war was lost on its commence
for our wepons were just common sense
that failed us Cause we knew best
the ice cap melts the wind brings change
the mud slide silent as it claims
to swallow friend and foe alike
for nature has the final strike
one use plastic cant admit defeat
its conquest lies on every beach
commerce detritis left a bobbin
that battlefield with no blood or bodies
they cant fight advancing tides
an Auschwitz that floats in font our eyes
the initiative of western greed
grieve now the shroud its shadow cast
that struggle to your children passed
Left descendants born of loving seed
A destroyed future without heed
to prick your conscience
to irritate that sore
the couch where easy intentions nest
fat cats with corporate excess
there gains in millions not in pence
shout at the telly, verncauler dispensed
blood pressure raise that brief moment
how would you react in that torment
when famine comes and drought is rife
will it dry your tounge so you cant shout
the banner or the sword
they cant fight adancing tides
guns cant stop pollutions rise
just one degree the tragedy
to shout abuse and dissafected sneer
for we are all but sufferajets
chained to a fence with deafness blessed
a war was lost on its commence
for our wepons were just common sense
that failed us Cause we knew best
the ice cap melts the wind brings change
the mud slide silent as it claims
to swallow friend and foe alike
for nature has the final strike
one use plastic cant admit defeat
its conquest lies on every beach
commerce detritis left a bobbin
that battlefield with no blood or bodies
they cant fight advancing tides
an Auschwitz that floats in font our eyes
the initiative of western greed
grieve now the shroud its shadow cast
that struggle to your children passed
Left descendants born of loving seed
A destroyed future without heed
