Melancholy Lyrics - Conscious Consumer - X-ray Spex

My mother the cow who still feeds me now is being tortured 

Her son the bull who the fields should plough is being slaughtered 

The human child in the womb who is never born for being unwanted 

Melancholy in the Age of Kali 

Melancholy in the Age of Kali 

Kali Kali 

My mother, the earth, man treats like dirt, her resources being exhausted 

Ant-like astronauts, of the human race, scratch and scar the moon's beautiful face 

My brother, the sun, he still shines on 

He'll continue to shine for some time to come 

Melancholy in the Age of Kali 

Melancholy in the Age of Kali 

Kali Kali 

Lamentation Lamentation Lamentation (repeat) 

Heavenly Father still waters the grains 

Seems like tears fall as it rains 

Little boy blue come blow on your horn 

The sheeps in the meadow the cows in the corn 

Oh sweet friend of mine from an ancient nursery rhyme 

From a distant land once upon a time
