GAIA invite me to you your house some time
Let me drink all your mums wine
Take everything she owns like it’s fine
Fuck her shit up like there’s no crime here
Well you wouldn’t want me to do that to your mother
Is that because who she is and what she owns has worth?
Well then don’t do this shit to the earth
The earth is your mother and you should treat her better
Don’t cut down her trees just so you can make some P’s
And melt her ice caps because your more concerned with iced frapp
-uccino, it’s mean though
The way you buy things and then throw
Them away, like old trash, new day
New craze and yet what’s crazy
Is your utter lack of respect
And care
For what is there and will be there forever
Mother Earth
Your mother and mind
Till the end of time
So start treating her the way you’d treat your own mum
Or it will be too late
And the life you and I know
Will be gone, done.
