[Verse 1]
My mama Nature said
"It's murder what you've done"
I sent you forth my brightest world
Now it's nearly gone
[Verse 2]
Birds and bees been telling me
You can't see the forest for the trees
You cover up your lies with sympathies
And I got no solutions to your persecution
[Chorus 1]
Mama Nature said
"Can't believe it's true"
Ooh, I gave you life and food for thought
Look what did you do
[Verse 3]
You're killing my rivers
Drowning my baby streams
Day by day by day by day by day, I hear them screams
I'm so disillusioned, so disillusioned
[Chorus 2]
Mama Nature said
"You're guilty of this crime"
Now it's not just a matter of fact
But just a matter of time
Cruel will be the vengeance
So savage is the deed that's done
And I've got no solutions
To your own pollu-lu-lu-lution
[Outro]
Oh, you're so filthy
Deep down you're dirty too
Go get her, boy!
