Across the skies the monuments stand

Shrines of wonder, man worshipping man

Computer ethics mock a dying land

Down below like rats in a cage

Success, survival, two needles in hay

It's Romans One facing satan's stare

Pull down the forests we need more wood

Extend the grazing we need more food

Burning our bridges before the flood

Out on the oceans where it's relatively safe

It's not so easy being big as a whale

We're all in a race on a bigger scale

Homosapien, I've had enough

Homosapien, I'm giving up

At best your wisdom's a shot in the dark

So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich

Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex

Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life

It's your choice

But mountains

Are holy places

And beauty is free

We can still walk

Through the garden

Our earth was once green
