Fogelberg Dan The Wild Places Blind To The Truth In the overcrowded cities Where the nights are bright as day You spend your weekly paycheck And turn your eyes away From the crisis we've created With our self-indulgent ways Living like there's no tomorrow Well that just might be the case. Now they're tearing down the forests In the jungles of Brazil Without a second thought about The species that they kill But extinction is forever And still the forests fall And push it ever closer to Extinction for us all. Chorus But you're so blind to the truth Blind to the truth And you can't see nothin' You're so blind to the truth Blind to the truth But the judgement day is coming. Now the politicians bicker On the early evening news Pledging their allegiance To whoever they can use And the corporate bosses snicker As they watch the profits soar They don't care what they make next month Just as long as it is more. The take our farms and marshlands Drive nature to the wall Just so they can build another Goddamn shopping mall And it doesn't seem to matter If we cannot see the stars Just as long as they can keep On building obsolescent cars 'Cause they're so... (Repeat chorus) Now you cannot drink the water And you cannot breathe the air The sky is ripping open and you Still don't seem to care The soil is tired and toxic And unable to provide The clock is running out and There is nowhere left to hid. Now there's laws that we must live by And they're not the laws of man Can't you see the shadow That moves across this land The future is upon us And there's so much we must do And you know I can't ignore it And, my friend, neither can you Unless you're... (Repeat chorus) |
