Marvin Sing That Song Again!

The water has been poisoned  
Air too foul too breathe
Punishment for corporations
Stockholders when they seethe
 
Silent Spring is given due credit
Starting the environmental movement's time
Nixon would start the EPA
Many right wingers don't like the remind
 
Since then we have dealt accidents
Spills on land and in seas
Worried about nuclear leaks
That might spread with a mere breeze
Some are eager to point to the damage
To prove Armageddon is near
Other look everywhere for conspiracies  
Not all of those minds are clear
 
Add the latest Supreme Court stretch
That corporations are people too
Absurd to my thinking
But to their profits they are true
 
Never answered to me to satisfaction
Is even if the scientists are wrong
Where's the error in cleaning our planet
If are environmental laws are strong
 
For the end you may fool a jury
Convince a judge toxic waste isn't a crime
But one thing mere humans can't do
Is ignore nature's dire signs
