  - -open

And when Man gained dominion

  - -open

over land and the oceans

  - -open

he began to harm the planet

with his asphalt and his toxins

  - -open

and to lay the forest bare

  - -open

and to poison even the air

  - -open

and he killed every beast

 and taught the seas how to bleed

Burned by the fire we make,

 what a shame

  - -open

Then the winds gave in

  - -open

and the rain knew no season

  - -open

and the sun came to beat

on a land of sand and diseases

  - -open

and when God looked down

  - -open

on the earth and saw it was broken

  - -open

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

[G/f#]

Man is the maker of his own disgrace

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

[G/f#]

Man is the maker of his own disgrace

Burned by the fire we make

Burned by the fire we make

Burned by the fire we make

 what a shame

 To be burned by the fire we make

 what a shame
