Silent Spring

                                  They ravaged the land

And polluted the seas 

They burned all the forests

Or cut down the trees

They damned up the rivers

And paved all the shores

Built parking lots

And discount stores

Then they started to die

But not fast enough

So, they shot at each other

With bullets and stuff

Chalk it all up to human greed

As seen on your TV



So much cruelty and madness

In these days of despair

That's not the way that I am, no

That's not the way that I am 

As the earth gets sicker and sicker

A soldier aims and pulls the trigger

Angels cry and demons laugh

Another suicide bomb blood bath



Silent spring, no birds sing

Angels cry, we all die



Mother earth wept

As they tore off her dress

Heart broken, humiliated

In a state of distress

They ripped out her hair

And they scratched at her skin 

Drained her of her fluids 

Then committed their sin

They gouged out her eyes

And cauterized her womb 

They sealed up her mouth 

And made her a tomb

Now she lies still

At the mercy of man

I whisper in her ear 



"That's not the way that I am"



No that's not the way that I am

No that's not the way that I am

No that's not the way that I am

No that's not the way that I am
