Mother Earth
Jimmy Davis Lyrics

Existing on this planet; terror, fear and panic
Living on this planet is scary and chaotic, full of anxiety and panic.

Our destiny tragic and concern merely sporadic
Our future seems doomed and hopeless, but people are only concerned about it once in a while.

The truth is problematic, they wanna see it in a different light so they go and paint it metallic
The truth is difficult to accept, so people try to distort it in ways that make it more palatable and shiny.

Some stay penned in and static
Some people feel trapped and immobile in their lives.

Others just blend in life automatic
Other people just go through the motions of life without really thinking about it or making any changes.

Move with the traffic, they’re packaged and in a packet
People follow each other aimlessly, like products on an assembly line.

They’re managed and in a bracket
People are controlled and categorized by society and its institutions.

They ravage, damage and hammer it
People destroy and harm the earth and its resources relentlessly.

If they want it they’re having it
People take whatever they want, regardless of the consequences.

Their relentless persistence is nothing but pneumatic
People's drive to achieve their goals is mechanical and lacks empathy for its impact on others or the planet.

Beat mother nature to death with fucking black and blue magic
People abuse the earth and its resources with harmful technology and practices.

Whose planet is this? We’ll take what we wanna use damn it!
People feel entitled to exploit the earth for their own purposes, regardless of its impact on the planet or other beings.

But the response is volcanic and so emphatic
The earth's response to our harm and aggression is violent and intense.

Leave a nasty taste in the deepest part of their souls pallet
The harm people inflict on the earth and its resources has negative consequences for their own spiritual well-being.

Imprinted onto the mind of a child in bold italics
The impact of our actions on the planet is lasting and profound, affecting future generations.

This is revolution antithesis of controlling masses
Our actions and treatment of the earth are contrary to the revolutionary idea of liberation from oppressive control.

They can’t see it, can’t ever free it All the pain she feels inside
People are blind to the harm they inflict on the earth, which suffers pain and damage as a result.

They don’t know it, never gonna show it All the time she fights to survive
People are unaware of the earth's struggle to survive and adapt to the harm they inflict on it.

Not with it, couldn’t ever give it Time of day to justify
People are not willing to acknowledge their role in harming the earth, and refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

They don’t want it, never confront it Until there’s no more time
People avoid facing the harm they inflict on the earth until it is too late to reverse the damage.

So mans greatest invention Soon to be the ladies biggest killer we pray for intervention
Technology, humanity's biggest invention, is becoming a major threat to the earth and its ecosystems, and we hope for divine help to survive the damage.

So ironic like banks going bankrupt And yanks funding the people that are now blowing their tanks up
It is ironic that banks and financial institutions collapse, while the same people who fund them also support terrorists and enemies.

Financial institutions given government money Let the taxpayer foot the bill until they recover fully
Financial institutions receive government subsidies and tax breaks at the expense of taxpayers who shoulder the burden of economic recovery.

Let politicians run up expenses The working class on the frontline can feel how deep the trench is
Politicians spend recklessly while working-class people suffer the consequences of declining wages and benefits.

Fifty percent payrise in two years for gp’s And turn local surgeries into fewer pcc’s
Doctors receive exorbitant pay increases, while the number of local medical facilities decreases.

Invest the money in training man then maybe he Could notice the brutality they inflicted on baby P
Investing in training people could help prevent the kind of abuse inflicted on a child named Baby P.

And Zimbabwe the definition of catastrophe 22 pence a government doctors monthly salary
The situation in Zimbabwe is a disaster, where government doctors receive a monthly salary of only 22 pence.

I call it crimes against humanity But people are cracking on and showing a disgusting amount of apathy
These actions constitute crimes against humanity, but people remain apathetic and indifferent to the harm inflicted on others.

They nationalise banks and fucking building societies But where’s my dividends and percentage of the proprietary
The government bails out banks and financial institutions, but the average citizen sees no direct benefit from these actions.

Se that there is tax payers wonga The same shit they used for supporting a war monger
Taxpayers' money is used to fund unjust wars and military action against other nations.

The same shit they used or arming Iraq And the same shit that funded offensives to go and take it back
Taxpayers' money is also used to fund military action against Iraq and other nations.

Man they really think we’re that stupid I wonder how many people in Abu Ghraib were fucking executed
The government and those in power often underestimate the intelligence and awareness of the masses, who are outraged by atrocities committed in places like Abu Ghraib.

People disgusted at the news reports and seeing war But chastise immigrants when all they’re doing is fleeing war
People are often disgusted by news of war, but still blame and punish immigrants for seeking refuge from the very same conflict.

We see it more and more, the former Yugoslavia, Somalia But you’re stuck in the chronicles of Narnia
People are becoming more aware of global conflicts and crises, but some remain oblivious and disengaged from these issues.

A commercial market fantasy bubble And don’t understand that your soul is understandably troubled
People are caught up in a commercial and consumerist fantasy that is damaging to their spiritual well-being and sense of purpose.

We all have an individual destiny But the fate of the planet lies with everybody collectively
While everyone has individual goals and purposes, the future of the earth and its resources depends on everyone working together to protect it.
