We Kill the World - Boney M.

I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms

I see rockets, missiles in the sky

Day by day, more and more

Where will this lead to

And what is this good for?

Poor world, poor world

Concrete’s rising up

Where yearerday was park

You heard the robin’s song

Heavy tractor runs

Where air was clean and cool

Make money, bringing fuel

Where will this lead to

And what is this good for?

A poor world, poor world

Fishes doomed to die

As people live close by

And oaktree falls with moon

Parking lots will come

With flowerfields were bright

As junkyard covers sight!

Where will this lead to

And what is this good for?

Poor world, is hurting bad

Poor world, is doomed to die

We kill the world

Kill the world

We surely do

In peace we do!

We kill the world

Kill the world

'cause we don’t know

What we are doing!

We kill it

One by one

Don’t realize!

And nuclear piles stand like monuments

Of destruction throughout over the country

Promenades must go

So cars can drive in row

New fact’ry towers tall

Farmhouse had to fall

No flowers in the air

Pollution everywhere

Where will this lead to

And what is this good for?

A poor world, poor world

Oceans in despair

There’s rubbish everywhere

The seaweed chokes in mud

Nature’s had her lot

With nuclear waste and rot

And mushrooms bloom as clouds

Where will this lead to

And what is this good for?

Poor world, is hurting bad

Poor world, is doomed to die

We kill the world…

Don’t kill the world

Don’t let her down

Do not destroy basic ground

Don’t kill the world

Our means of life

Lend ear to nature’s cry

Don’t kill the world

She’s all we have

And surely is worth to save

Don’t let her die

Fight for her trees

Pollution robs air to breathe

Don’t kill the world

Help her survive

And she’ll reward you with life

And don’t just talk

Go on and do the one, who wins is you

Cherish the world

A present from god

On behalf of all creatures

Made by the lord

Care for the earth

Foundation of life

Slow progress down help her survive
