Boney M. - We Kill The World Lyrics
I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms.I see rockets, missiles in the sky.Day by day, more and more,Where will this lead toAnd what is this good for?Poor world, poor world.Concrete's rising up,Where yearerday was parkYou heard the robin's songHeavy tractor runsWhere air was clean and coolMake money, bringing fuel.Where will this lead toAnd what is this good for?A poor world, poor world.Fishes doomed to dieAs people live close byAnd oaktree falls with moonParking lots will comeWith flowerfields were brightAs junkyard covers sight!Where will this lead toAnd what is this good for?Poor world, is hurting bad,Poor world, is doomed to die.We kill the worldKill the worldWe surely doIn peace we do!We kill the worldKill the world'cause we don't knowWhat we are doing!We kill itOne by oneDon't realize!And nuclear piles stand like monumentsOf destruction throughout over the countryPromenades must goSo cars can drive in rowNew fact'ry towers tallFarmhouse had to fallNo flowers in the airPollution everywhere.Where will this lead toAnd what is this good for?A poor world, poor world.Oceans in despairThere's rubbish everywhereThe seaweed chokes in mudNature's had her lotWith nuclear waste and rotAnd mushrooms bloom as clouds.Where will this lead toAnd what is this good for?Poor world, is hurting bad,Poor world, is doomed to die.We kill the world...Don't kill the worldDon't let her down.Do not destroy basic ground.Don't kill the worldOur means of life.Lend ear to nature's cry.Don't kill the worldShe's all we have,And surely is worth to save.Don't let her die,Fight for her trees,Pollution robs air to breathe.Don't kill the worldHelp her surviveAnd she'll reward you with lifeAnd don't just talk,Go on and do the one, who wins is you.Cherish the world,A present from godOn behalf of all creatures,Made by the lordCare for the earth,Foundation of lifeSlow progress down help her survive
