A scarred World
Animals and insects are
in decline;
It’s not a good time to
be a porcupine,
A lion, an orangutan, a
colobus monkey,
An eagle or bumble bee.
Habitation disappearing everywhere;
If animals were people
there would be despair;
Will there be a tiger, a gorilla,
Or a polar bear
When there’s nothing
there?
Oh baby baby it’s a
scarred world
(Fossil fuels and palm
oil)
Deforestation; It ought
to be a crime
(Pesticides in the soil)
Oh baby baby it’s a
scarred world
(Plastic floating in the
sea)
Oceans and corals are
running out of time
(Polyester industry)
Schoolchildren protesting
in the street,
Conservationists with
politicians meet,
Climate change is
devastating; it’s clearly
A global emergency
And then an orange man in
the USA
Say’s that it was bound
to happen anyway;
Business is guiltless, in
spite of what
The bleeding hearts say;
It’s here to stay
Oh baby baby it’s a
scarred world
(Children breathing
poisoned air)
The floods and the forest
fires are pretty vile
(Powerful people made
aware)
Oh baby baby it’s a
scarred world
(But even if they really
care)
The toxic waste is an
ever growing pile
(It’s getting now beyond
repair)
Oh baby baby it’s a
scarred world
(Climate change deniers
now)
Trails of carbon are all
we leave behind
(Walk the corridors of
power)
Oh baby baby it’s a
scarred world
(To big business they
bow)
There’s always an option
of choosing to be blind
(And make the world a
cash-cow)
