Save the World

Weve got to save the world

Someone else may want to use it

So far weve seen

This planets rape, how weve abused it

Weve got to save the world

The russians have the biggest share

With their long fingers everywhere

And now they've bombs in outer space

With laser beams and atomic waste

Rain forest chopped for paper towels

One acre gone in every hour*

Our birds and wildlife all destroyed

To keep some millionaires employed

Weve got to save the whale

Greenpeace they've tried to diffuse it

But dog food salesmen

Persist on kindly to harpoon it

Weve got to save the world

The armament consortium

They're selling us plutonium

Now you can make your own h-bomb

Right in the kitchen with your mom

The nuclear power that costs you more

Than anything youve known before

The half-wits answer to a need

For cancer, death, destruction, greed

Weve got to save the world

Someones children they may need it

So far weve seen

The big business of extinction bleed it

Weve got to save the world

Were at the mercy of so few

With evil hearts determined to

Reduce this planet into hell

Then find a buyer and make quick sale

To end upon a happy note

Like trying to make concrete float

Is very simple knowing that

God in your heart lives

Weve got to save the world

Someone else may want to use it

Its time you knew

How close weve come

Were gonna lose it - we gotta save, we gotta save

We gotta save the world
