Amazon Lyrics - Singles - Nylons

Somewhere on the edge of time 

You hear a plaintive song 

Remembering a way of life 

That seemed to go on and on and on 

What can we offer them now 

In a world that has turned from grace 

The jungle is burning so fast 

The smoke can be seen from space 

I walk along these smokey city streets 

Within these jungle walls it's so hard to breathe 

I heard the news and it's been eating at me 

They're tearing down the last of the amazon trees 

The poor have need of the land, they say 

But the soil is thin and ends up blowin' away 

What about a million years of history 

And the creatures who inhabit this great mystery 

We've got to buy back the amazon 

We've got to give the earth a chance to carry on 

If it's money they need let's give them all that they want 

We've got to buy back the amazon 

Buy back the amazon 

We carry on and keep it all inside 

But the time will come when there'll be nowhere to hide 

With all we're spending on our wars in space 

Why can't we save the mother of the human race 

We've got to buy back the amazon 

We've got to give the earth a chance to carry on 

If it's money they need let's give them all that they want 

We've got to buy back the amazon 

Buy back the amazon 

Buy back the amazon 

Save it now so we can pass it on 

Wake up! our future's almost gone 

We've got to buy back the amazon 

We've got to give the earth a chance to carry on 

Make no mistake, when it's gone it's gone...
