Hungry Planet Lyrics - The Byrds

I'm a hungry planet 

I had a youthful face 

They were in a hurry 

To go to outer space 

They needed bombs and tungsten 

Ore and iron too 

So they climbed and they dug and they blew 

Divided me right in two 

I'm a hungry planet 

Orbiting in the sky 

The things they did to hurt me 

Pass on by and by 

Now here I am all alone 

They never ever learn 

Well I had to shake and quake 

And make their houses burn 

I'm a hungry planet 

I had the bluest seas 

Oh the people kept choppin' down 

All my finest trees 

Poisonin' my oxygen 

Diggin' into my skin 

Takin' more out of my good earth 

Than they'll ever put back in 

I'm a hungry planet
