Pachamama

And I can't get it out of my head
burning trash ignore recycling systems
smoke piping form the stack
toxic waste and dangerous emissions

And I can't get it out of my head
losing pristine ancient global forests
clear cutting goes on today
yeah, paper cups convenience items for us

Well, well well well
You better take care of Pachamama
she'll be gone before you know
you better take care of Pachamama
'cause there's no place left to go

you better take care of Pachamama
heed the call and you will find
when you take care of Pachamama
You'll save the World when you change your mind

I can't get it out of my head
Urban sprawl devours our natural spaces
acreage lost each day
wetlands, farms and wildlife's living spaces

and I can't get it out of head
Birds of the World are slowly disappearing
Well I guess we should prepare
For all the insects of the World to be multiplying

Well, well well well
You better take care of Pachamama
she'll be gone before you know
you better take care of Pachamama
'cause there's no place left to go

you better take care of Pachamama
heed the call and you will find
when you take care of Pachamama
You'll save the World when you change your mind

I can't get it out of my head
I can't get it out of my head
I can't get it out of my head
I can't get it out of my head

What gave us the idea that we can take and not give back
blind overreaching selfish pride thinks only of today in fact

Can we look beyond ourselves, conceive after this day
That our children will inherit our lot, our problems will not go away

Short term profits, economism, and states of sheer denial
May make us comfortable today while leaving mother earth defiled

I can't get it out of my head
That in sixty years the crude oil will be depleted
we've known for many years
should move away from fossil fuels, mistakes are repeated

and I can't get it out of my head
stockpiles of nuclear weapons' mass destruction
they say we're interested peace
while building arsenals of arms production

Well, well well well
You better take care of Pachamama
she'll be gone before you know
you better take care of Pachamama
'cause there's no place left to go

Well, well well well
You better take care of Pachamama
she'll be gone before you know
you better take care of Pachamama
'cause there's no place left to go
