Wild World - Laura Nyro

Dinner in the kitchen

Delicious to eat

Thou shall not kill, darlin'

Let wild things run free

I heard

The wolf is gone

I heard

So is the whale of the sea

And who are we?

Where are we goin'

To be so willin'

For the killin'

Of the wild world?

Animals

Trapped by man’s endangered

Soul

By science, sport, and fashion

I heard

The wolf is gone

The baby seal

Sister, whose back

Does that fur belong on?

And who are you?

Where are you goin'

To be so willin'

For the killin'

Of the wild world?

Consumer blindness

I’m givin' it up

Consider compassion

When you’re livin' it up

Wild world

Wild world

Oh, it’s all around you

Wild world
