Acoustic original

lyrics

All the big business trying to make it pay
they'll knock it down, if it gets in their way
they never listen to a word we say
they think they rule the world

Oil washing up now on every shore
dont seem to stop them, they just drill for more
seems to me that they're above the law
they think they rule the world

And the birds can't fly and the fish can't swim
profits put us in the mess we're in
it's on the beaches, and it's on our skin
who's to blame where do I begin

Trees falling faster now than the rain
everybody telling me we're not to blame
some how dont think the earth will ever take the strain
we think we rule the world

And you'd think by now that we'd know the score
everybody knows we shouldn't do this no more
it's time that we opened another door
that leads to a better world

A million years grown and we just burn it down
watching our history falling to the ground
some how dont think we're going to be around
to say we ruled the world

And the trees are gone and the oceans are bare
but the monies in the pocket and they just dont care
wonder what our children are going to find there
from the days we ruled the world

Only a fool would poison his own well
what we wont do for money, well who can tell
books will say how the ancients fell
in the days we ruled the world, in the days we ruled the world, in the days we ruled the world
