Go Green Lyrics - Oi Polloi

Governments and multinationals 

Corrupt and twisted women and men 

Are going to bring this planet 

To a premature end 

With their selfishness and greed 

They destroy anything of worth 

Are you just going to sit and watch 

Their rape of mother earth? 

They just could't care less 

About the ecological devastation 

Inflicted by their insane striving 

For profit maximisation 

We've got to fight back 

We've got to give resistance 

Or they'll pollute and exploit 

Our world out of existance 

Industrial accidents and radiation leaks 

So babies are born as freaks 

Like the Re-Chen babies with one eye 

Or those who Windscale called before their time 

And the petrol is full of lead 

So kids grow up wrong in the head 

And aerosols destroy the ozone layer 

No protection - no we're layed bare 

And nuclear waste is dumped into the sea 

A slow poison for you and me 

And what was once fertile land 

Has now turned to desert sand 

And acid rain pours from the sky 

So whole forests wither and die 

And dirty cities grey and drab 

Cover theyland like concrete scabs 

And toxic chemicals are pumped into streams 

Death where once life would have been 

The whole situation has got out of hand 

So go green and make your stand 

And it seems you couldn't care less 

That our earth is in such a mess 

It makes me wonder how long it will take 

Before you finally awake 

Please, please you got to open your eyes 

'Cos you've got to realise 

Exactly what those in power got planned 

This is the last chance to make your stand 

Now that we see what's going on 

We've got to stop them and we aint got long 

This isn't something just to sing about 

'Cos our time is running out...
