Death in The Wilderness — текст песни (J. J. Cale)

Death in the wilderness

Its a hopeless case I guess

Whos looking out for the wilder side

It will soon all be gone

You can tell it wont be long

Well find the wilderness has died

Well be the lonely one

Concrete, plastic human throng

Tellin one another have you heard the news

Well mow it down, well rape the ground

til theres nothing left to abuse

The rabbit, hell be gone

The bird will sing no song

The wolf, the bear, the lion too

The insect far and near, creatures like the deer

Well put in cages a the zoo

Death in the wilderness

Its a hopeless case I guess

Whos looking out for the wilder side

It will soon all be gone

You can tell it wont be long

Well find the wilderness has died

The stream will all dry out

The fish, gone no doubt

Well have no animals to fear

The tree will be no more

Well use it to build the store

Mountain scene will disappear

These changes takin place

Will affect the human race

Well all know it when its gone

God save this planet now

Weve got to help somehow

Weve left it happen way too long

Death in the wilderness

Its a hopeless case I guess

Whos looking out for the wilder side

It will soon all be gone

You can tell it wont be long

Well find the wilderness has died

Well find the wilderness has died
