Factories belch filth to the skies, Polluting all the airways The climate starts to change. Scorching earth and melting ice Vaporising Ozone, Poison in the rain. We've split the atom, gone to space We revel in our greatness, At all the leaps we've made. But got no time to look beyond At what we've left behind us- An endless trail of waste.
BRIDGE: And still we do nothing. As it all comes undone. Ignoring the warnings, screaming
CHORUS: In our mother tongue. We race into oblivion.
Another forest fell today Destroying the eco system Another homeless tribe. Caught up in our busy lives We seldom blink an eye at- Another species died. Ruled by fear the course we steer, Driven by our hunger. Waging war for greed. Our blinded eyes don't realise That we soon will all be Confined to history.
BRIDGE CHORUS
BREAK: As we sit there, staring at the future. In denial, of what's yet to come. Yeah we keep on, ignoring all the warnings That are screaming, in our mother tongue In our mother tongue In our mother tongue Can you hear it screaming In our mother tongue
