The song Greenhouse Effect is about the destruction of the South American rainforests due to the depletion of the ozone layer which was a common issue in the 1980s.
Fools the ones who stray, the rain forest burns away
Know what to believe, this is the air we breathe
So the world we know is dying slow in South America
Flames are burning down, all the trees to the ground
Time is running low, we can't stay no more
Wealth these people see, fight for eternity
Lies they televise paid by the government
There on! It lingers on
And they don't even care if they...
Seal the planet's fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It's time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
Foes these people go, someone destroyed their home
Plagued with disease, left praying on their knees
Laws protect the land, social justice in demand
Smoke it fills the air into the atmosphere
Now it's time to see a cycle of a tragedy
On! It lingers on, and they don't even care if they...
Seal the planet's fate
Crimes they perpetrate
Wasting precious land
It's time to take a stand
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
Our only hope to breathe again
To stop the madness closing in
What will we do when all is lost
Environmental holocaust...
