This is another classic Thin Lizzy song and is of particular merit.

A major proliferation of environmental songs began in the eighties

and nineties by bands such as R.E.M. and the like. Thin Lizzy

did this same thing almost twenty years earlier!



Mama Nature said

"It's murder what you've done"

I sent you forth my brightest world

Now it's nearly gone



Birds and bees

Been telling me

You can't see

The forest for the trees



You cover up your lies

With sympathies

And I got no solutions

To your persecution



Mama Nature said

"I can't believe it's true"

I gave you life and food for thought

Look what did you do



You're killing my rivers

Drowning my baby streams

Day by day by day by day

I hear them scream



I'm so disillusioned

I'm so disillusioned



Mama Nature said

"You're guilty of this crime"

Now it's not just a matter of fact

But just a matter of time



Cruel will be the vengeance

So savage is the deed that's done

And I've got no solutions

To your own pollutions
