Naked Earth - Fight To Save Our World lyrics

Was looking at a sky of blue

But now it's turned to grey

A whole lot darker now than yesterday

Could it have been a dream

Or a distant memory

Cos things seem so much worse than they used to be

Wandering on the beach

Thought I would take a swim

But signs are telling me I can't go in

Says "Too much bacteria"

When will it be cleared up

The seas are big but they're not big enough

For this abuse, seems it's just no use

The time has come to change our way

Though we should have yesterday

Fight to save our world

Saw a new car today

Just like all the rest

Using fossil fuel when solar's best

People talk of change

Running cars on batteries

But it's prevented by oil companies

Took a walk down to the creek

But it's there no more

Nothing but concrete from shore to shore

No more fish that swim

No more birds that sing

Mankind keeps destroying everything

For his own gain, it's just insane

The time has come to change our way

Though we should have yesterday

Fight to save our world

Fight to change the way we treat the air

Fight bureaucracies that just don't care

Fight to change the future of our children

Fight to save the species that day by day we keep on killin'

Saw a group of kids

Thought it looked OK

But then I noticed that they weren't at play

Was at the local school

Ten kids in a fight

Nine wrong surrounding one that's right
