Kiss Mother Nature Goodbye

(album: Pure Hank - 1991)

The oil tankers poisoned the oceans bulldozers raviged the land
We've taken from sweet mother nature just about all she can stand
She just keeps holding our hand

There's a big tractor loose in the forest ripping the trees from the earth
Those redwoods are falling to progress but a few roots still grip the earth
How much is that timber worth

Well it's time to start asking some questions like how long can we hold our breath
The smoke from those big city factory is choking this country to death
I don't claim to have all the answers but how long can the truth be denied
If we don't get our act together start looking for ways to survive
We can kiss mother nature goodbye

Now there's still some fish in the river and young eagles learning to fly
The hope of the next generation is soaring up there in the sky
But I'm afraid I can read his mind

Time to start asking some questions like how long can we hold our breath...
