Adrian Belew - Burned By The Fire We Make

And when man gained dominion


Over land and the oceans


He began to harm the planet


With his asphalt and his toxins


And to lay the forest bare


And to poison even the air


And he killed every beast


And taught the seas how to bleed





Burned by the fire we make


What a shame





Then the winds gave in


And the rain knew no season


And the sun came to beat


On a land of sand and diseases


And when God looked down


On the earth and saw it was broken


Then the tears of God fell down


Through a hole in the ozone





Burned by the fire we make


What a shame





This is the nature of the human race


To kill off anything that gets in our way


Poor mother earth we disfigured her face


Man is the maker of his own disgrace





Burned by the fire we make


What a shame
