- -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
Bridge
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
