Ethiopia

Hot winds and hunger cries Ethiopia

Flies in your babies' eyes Ethiopia

Walking sticks on burning plains

Betrayed by politics

Abandoned by the rains

On and on the human need

On and on the human greed profanes

Ethiopia Ethiopia Ethiopia

Your top soil flies away Ethiopia

We pump ours full of poison spray Ethiopia

Between the brown skies and sprinkling lawns

I hear the whine of chain saws

hacking rain forests down

On and on insanities

On and on Short sighted greed abounds

Ethiopia Ethiopia Ethiopia

Little garden planet oasis in space

Some hearts hurt they can hardly stand it

Famine phantoms at the garden gates

Ethiopia Ethiopia Ethiopia

Every Sunday on TV Ethiopia

You suffer with such dignity Ethiopia

A TV star with a PR smile

Calls your baby "it" while strolling

through your tragic trials

On and on stupidity

On and on the basic needs are defiled

Good air good water good earth

Ethiopia Ethiopia Ethiopia

Little garden planet oasis in space

Some hearts hurt they can hardly

stand the waste
