This is my body which I give to you...



We listen to money and never to reason

Our mother still weeps as she thinks of our treason

We've ravaged her lands and savaged her seas

We've shot all the animals and chopped down the trees

We take it with lust, we take it with greed

We take what we can,not just what we need

We push and we push right up to the brink

We don't ever care, we don't even think

We chop down the hedges, feed brains to our cattle

When farmers complain, in Europe we battle

We fight for our cause, a war of attrition

Defending our rights, our noble tradition

Of slaughtering foxes, and shooting for fun

Everything's easy when viewed with a gun

We concrete the woodland, or fill it with waste

Then everything dies as the water is laced

With toxins and poisons that seep through the dirt

We don't really mind unless it's us that gets hurt

We build all these factories and tell all these lies

About exactly what it is that's pushed in our skies

It didn't do much harm when dropped in rabbits eyes

In research labs, where torturers in disguise

As men of learning watch a mouse as it dies

Then scribble on a clipboard no words of surprise

But that's all alright because you never knew

And even if you did, just what could you do

They know what they're doing, they've got it in hand

So just keep ignoring, with your head in the sand
