You’re Killin’ Me

You're Killin' Me (M. Russell)

I’ve been ‘round since creation
Water, wind and sod
With my sister the heavens
I was made by God

I’ve been circling forever
The fire you call the sun
And if there’s others like me
You haven't stood on one

Haven’t I been good to you?
Haven’t I been good to you?
But you’re killin' me
Yeah you’re killin' me
Yeah you’re killin' me
You’re killin' me
You’re killin' me

I have kept you and fed you
Since the dawn of time
And I’ve let you call yours
What is really mine

You have drilled me and tilled me
My tears fill the ruts
In my flesh you carve highways
Death by a thousand cuts

Haven’t I been good to you?
Haven’t I been good to you?
But you’re killin' me
Yeah you’re killin' me
Yeah you’re killin' me
You’re killin' me
You’re killin' me

Like spoiled little children
You gotta have your way
And you think you’re the masters
Of all you survey

But tell me what will you do
When I’ve had enough?
If you think it won’t matter
Come on, call my bluff

Haven’t I been good to you?
Haven’t I been good to you?
But you’re killin' me
Yeah you’re killin' me
Yeah you’re killin' me
You’re killin' me
You’re killin' me
