It's completely ingrained in the human psyche
But the way we exploit this world can never be forgiven
It's masked and praised as progress and ambition
In a genuine, but false, belief it's better our children
They say the world's our oyster
Providing endless food and nurture
But can it really survive with us
This ultimate Human Virus
We take what we want and then some more
While we simply throw the waste away
It's now a problem for others to contemplate
We really don't have to care about today
They say the world's our oyster
Providing endless food and nurture
But can it really survive with us
This ultimate Human Virus
They say the world's our oyster
Providing endless food and nurture
But can it really survive with us
This ultimate Human Virus
We left the trees and developed further through the use of our voice
Communications enabled much better progress with new tools employed
We colonised every part of earth, leaving no stone unturned
But lost the true sight of Mother Nature, this human virus has created a planet of tears
