They ravaged the land and polluted the seas
They burned all the forests or cut down the trees
They damaged up the rivers and paved all the shores
Built parking lots and discount stores
Then they started to die, but not fast enough
So, they shot at each other with bullets and stuff
Chalk it all up to human greed
As seen on your TV
So much cruelty and madness
In these days of despair
That's not the way that I am
No, that's not the way that I am
As the earth gets sicker and sicker
A solder aims and pulls the trigger
Angels cry and demons laugh
Another suicide bomb bloodbath
So much cruelty and madness
In these days of despair
That's not the way that I am
No, that's not the way that I am
Silent spring
No birds sing
Angels cry
We all die
Mother Earth wept as they tore off her dress
Heart broken, humiliated in a state of distress
They ripped out her hair, and they scratched at her skin
Drained her of fluids, then committed their sin
They gouged out her eyes and cauterized her womb
They sealed up her mouth and made her a tomb
Now she lies still at the mercy of man
I whisper in her ear, "That's not the way that I am"
No, that's not the way that I am
No, that's not the way that I am
No, that's not the way that I am!
