Oi Polloi Go Green Lyrics

Go Green Lyrics

Governments and multinationals



Corrupt and twisted women and men



Are going to bring this planet



To a premature end



With their selfishness and greed



They destroy anything of worth



Are you just going to sit and watch



Their rape of mother earth?



They just could't care less



About the ecological devastation



Inflicted by their insane striving



For profit maximisation



We've got to fight back



We've got to give resistance



Or they'll pollute and exploit



Our world out of existance



Industrial accidents and radiation leaks



So babies are born as freaks



Like the Re-Chen babies with one eye



Or those who Windscale called before their time



And the petrol is full of lead



So kids grow up wrong in the head



And aerosols destroy the ozone layer



No protection - no we're layed bare



And nuclear waste is dumped into the sea



A slow poison for you and me



And what was once fertile land



Has now turned to desert sand



And acid rain pours from the sky



So whole forests wither and die



And dirty cities grey and drab



Cover theyland like concrete scabs



And toxic chemicals are pumped into streams



Death where once life would have been



The whole situation has got out of hand



So go green and make your stand



And it seems you couldn't care less



That our earth is in such a mess



It makes me wonder how long it will take



Before you finally awake



Please, please you got to open your eyes



'Cos you've got to realise



Exactly what those in power got planned



This is the last chance to make your stand



Now that we see what's going on



We've got to stop them and we aint got long



This isn't something just to sing about



'Cos our time is running out...
