Mama Nature Said
Phil Lynott
Mama Nature said
"It's murder what you've done"
I sent you forth my brightest world
Now it's nearly gone
Birds and bees
Been telling me
You can't see
The forest for the trees
You cover up your lies
With sympathies
And I got no solutions
To your persecution
Mama Nature said
"I can't believe it's true"
I gave you life and food for thought
Look what did you do
You're killing my rivers
Drowning my baby streams
Day by day by day by day
I hear them scream
I'm so disillusioned
I'm so disillusioned
Mama Nature said
"You're guilty of this crime"
Now it's not just a matter of fact
But just a matter of time
Cruel will be the vengeance
So savage is the deed that's done
And I've got no solutions
To your own pollutions
