All you shoppers and tossers who hang out in malls Your kids will go nowhere cause you've got no balls With your squeaky clean kitchens and white tinted walls You're abused by the laws that protect you Your government squanders and arms the weak minded While the idiots lantern, hold your attention And nobody sees that it's cure not prevention And Mother Earth goes round and round Mother Earth goes round and round All you white collar workers asleep in your stalls Will insurance support you when acid rain falls And the sea level rises up over the walls Of the cities you've built to protect you And the green fiends have gone under acres of highway Your cars can't go nowhere, they rust in the driveway Your womenfolk find themselves walking to Safeway Still Mother Earth goes round and round Still Mother Earth goes round and round All for one, one for all, one to hell with the rest The means never matter as long as you're best How much you love money, that's your greatest test And compassion need never afflict you Your companies plunder and crush the weak nations Those with too much have no conscience to waken And those that have not what they have shall be taken Still Mother Earth goes round and round Yes Mother Earth goes round and round Still Mother Earth goes round and round But now listen up fools, every dog has its day And the things you held dear will too soon fade away Nature's powers of change will not be held at bay Your defence will be sure to convict you And the gold you have gathered will carry you under The landmines you sowed will return to their makers The world will be free of the butchers and fakers And those who were taken will soon be the takers Mother Earth goes round and round Mother Earth goes round and round
