Our Earth Was Once Green — текст песни (Runrig)

Across the skies the monuments stand
Shrines of wonder, man worshipping man
Computer ethics mock a dying land
Down below like rats in a cage
Success, survival, two needles in hay
It`s Romans One facing satan`s stare
Pull down the forests we need more wood
Extend the grazing we need more food
Burning our bridges before the flood
Out on the oceans where it`s relatively safe
It`s not so easy being big as a whale
We`re all in a race on a bigger scale
Homosapien, I`ve had enough
Homosapien, I`m giving up
At best your wisdom`s a shot in the dark
So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich
Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex
Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life
It`s your choice
But mountains
Are holy places
And beauty is free
We can still walk
Through the garden
Our earth was once green
