Dying world
Seas and rivers are polluted
Mother Nature raped and looted
Fertile land is lying bare
yet no one seems to care
Children live on rubbish dumps
have to eat from garbage cans
People are dying everywhere
yet no one seems to care
CHORUS:
You and I must take the blame
we should drop our heads in shame
We are just spectators
of a dying world
Honeybees are dying
weeping willows crying
Rivers of dreams have been turned
into bleeding streams
Crayfish, cycads, ivory
fraud, corruption, bribery
Rhino horn and abalone
humankind has a heart of stone
CHORUS:
You and I must take the blame
we should drop our heads in shame
We are just spectators
of a dying world
One day you'll have to answer
when your children ask
What on earth have you done?
all the polar bears are gone
BRIDGE / PRE-CHORUS:
And crawling on the planet’s face
some insects called the human race
Lost in time, and lost in space
[Rocky Horror Picture Show, 1975]
CHORUS:
You and I must take the blame
we should drop our heads in shame
We are just spectators
of a dying world
We are just spectators
of a dying world
