I wait and wait as dawn goes by
To fill my need and satisfy
I watch the trees all stiff and long
And wonder how can anything go wrong
But as the sun begins to settle
I see smoke come out like a kettle
Big machineries with sharp claws
Snap the trees with their jaws
I see now of what has become
They’ve pluck the trees just like a plum
And I tell myself what madness
To see all of this sadness
To see such happiness disappear
Fills me up with such fear
And for what cost I ask myself
To get some money for thyself
And now as it turns into night
I am left with such a fright
Our greed is getting worst and worst
This money is becoming such a curse
And now as I sit down and cry in shame
I wonder to myself will it ever be the same.
