Witnesses P.Allgood/B.Smith/L.Whitsel-BMI (c)2009 All Rights Reserved Say you wanna free the reserves To keep us running strong- it's gone wrong Rubbish flies out of your mouth Heaps in lies With cameras on I'm a witness to the rape of the earth The miserable shape of the earth Is getting worse We'll never know what it's worth 'Til things can't be reversed And it hurts Pardon me, I fail to mention The gaping hole that passes for a sky Policy, stale intention We will fall asleep and never rise Brother asinine, sister absurd We're on the clock, tick tock The lipstick, pig, and sty Have reeked too long, ding dong We are witness to the rape of the earth People who hate the earth And it hurts Blessing sours to a curse Limousine fades to hearse Getting worse Pardon me, I never agreed to choking on carcinogens In the air I breathe Blame on you, for suffering we haven't learned a damned thing from our history.... We'll never know what it's worth We're witnessing the rape of the earth...
