wouldn't it be great...
to see the african plains
before they lay them to waste...
and only the bones remain
wouldn't it be poetry...
to shoot holes in the poachers we see
with an elephant gun...
men in helicopters fly
shooting rhinos from out of the sky
why do we always a**ume the planet is ours to ruin
what a legacy...
we're leaving behind...
what a legacy
wouldn't it be something...
for the men killing dolphins
to be caught up by their necks...
in their greedy fishing nets
wouldn't it be irony...
if the tuna fish canneries were to fall into the sea...
dolphins and the whales still left alive
cry to the stars in the deep blue night
'there's nowhere to hide,
the people on earth will not be denied'
what a legacy...
we're leaving behind...
what a legacy
wouldn't it be odd...
if there really was a God
and He looked down on earth
and saw what we've done to Her
wouldn't it be just...
if He pulled the plug on us and took away the sun
men in helicopters fly
shooting rhinos from out of the sky
why do we always a**ume the planet is ours to ruin
oh, and all the dolphins alive are cryin' to the deep blue night
'there's nowhere to hide,
the people on earth will not be denied'
