Planet Trouble Lyrics - Singles - Naked Earth

You pour cement and call it a river 

You say it's an improvement 

Pocketing all the money 

While the water grows stagnant 

We pave more roads 

To widen the path of progress 

As we suffer in spirit 

We are forced to regress 

The time has come 

You can no longer run away from the problem 

Realise the situation 

Open your eyes, crawl from the rubble 

We got a case of Planet Trouble 

The pursuit of wealth paves the fields of life 

It's just business as usual in a world full of strife 

We don't want your development 

You ignore the laws of the government 

Making deals with the local councils 

To turn our rivers into cement 

We are forced to regress 

The time has come 

You can no longer run away from the problem 

Realise the situation 

Open your eyes...
